Old Flame Instructions

Looking for a new cocktail recipe to try? Look no further than the Old Flame cocktail. This fiery drink will surely ignite your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Whether you're hosting a party or simply looking to unwind after a long day, the Old Flame is the perfect choice.

To make an Old Flame, you'll need a few simple ingredients and a shaker. Begin by filling your shaker with ice. Next, add a generous amount of your favorite whiskey - the choice is yours! If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, opt for a bourbon. If you like a stronger drink, go for a rye whiskey.

Once you've added the whiskey, it's time to add a touch of sweetness. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and add a splash of simple syrup. If you don't have simple syrup on hand, you can easily make it by dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.

Now, it's time to add some heat to your Old Flame cocktail. Drop in a few dashes of hot sauce - the amount depends on how spicy you like it. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even try experimenting with different types of hot sauce to find your perfect level of heat.

Once you've added all the ingredients to your shaker, it's time to shake vigorously. This will chill the drink and mix all the flavors together. After a good shake, strain the cocktail into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of lemon or a cherry, if desired.

The Old Flame cocktail is a bold and flavorful drink that will definitely leave an impression. With its mix of whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and hot sauce, it's a cocktail that's sure to spark some excitement. So, next time you're in the mood for something different, give the Old Flame a try and let the sparks fly!


Best served in a Cocktail Glass.
