Chocolate Covered Strawberry Old Fashioned (Because dessert should come with a little backbone.)

Some drinks are meant to be savored. Some are meant to replace dessert entirely. This one does both. Our Chocolate Covered Strawberry Old Fashioned takes a classic, no-nonsense build and gives it a Valentine’s-level upgrade.

We’ve balanced rich chocolate notes with a hit of bright strawberry and just enough bitterness to keep it from getting soft. It’s sweet and balanced, but make no mistake, it’s still very much a whiskey drink.

What You Need:

• 2 oz. Indiana Whiskey Confections of a Chocoholic Chocolate Whiskey

• ½ oz. Strawberry Simple Syrup

• 3 dashes Chocolate Bitters

• Orange peel

• Cherry

• Ice

What You Do:

1. Add the IWC Confections of a Chocoholic, strawberry simple syrup, and chocolate bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir until well-chilled.

2. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Express the orange peel over the glass, drop it in, and finish with a cherry. No extras. No distractions.

This is what happens when you let an Old Fashioned flirt a little. The chocolate brings depth, the strawberry keeps it bright, and the bitters remind you this isn’t a novelty drink!

Dessert optional. Second round encouraged.
