Old Fashioned reindeer
This twist on the classic Old Fashioned replaces the whiskey with schnapps, but otherwise the recipe follows the same principles.
A barrel-aged schnapps is an excellent choice, as the deep oak tones are reminiscent of whiskey, which you won't miss when the spicy nuances of the schnapps come through. With a touch of orange peel, you get an elegant and sophisticated way to enjoy schnapps.
The recipe can be found further down.
