Grilled Orange Old Fashioned

It’s been a good run, pumpkin spice latte, but it might just be time to hang up your hat. According to CountryLiving.com, a Grilled Orange Old Fashioned - a sweet, smoky bourbon cocktail - is the real drink of the Thanksgiving season.


Since Prohibition ended in Mississippi in 1966, the road was cleared for manufacturing spirits manufacturing. Now, Kiln’s Crittenden Distillery and Jackson’s Cathead Distillery craft local bourbon and gin options for holiday cocktails.


Makes 4 servings.
