Freehand Old Fashioned
The Hawthorne bartender, Jason Kilgore, crafted this unique variation of the classic Old Fashioned. Inspired by the Freehand Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, which houses the renowned Broken Shaker Bar, Kilgore says he wanted to pay homage to its vibrant atmosphere.
The resulting cocktail is complex and balanced, with the sweetness of the coffee liqueur balancing out the funkiness of the pineapple rum. The bitters and orange twist add depth and complexity to the drink, making it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts at The Hawthorne.
