Ginger-Mandarin Old Fashioned Cocktail with Peelz
Peelz mandarin oranges muddled up with ginger, rye whiskey and brandied cherries to create a wintry redux of the Old-Fashioned. The Mandarins give the drink a wonderful tangy sweetness — you can skip the sugar cube. And we love how the spicy ginger keeps things from getting too sweet and draws out all the rye’s heat.
