We love a good offbeat holiday drink, and this old fashioned riff from sam gauthier at new yorks boilermaker fits the bill perfectly. Gauther brings in some smoke by bringing in scotch in place of the typical bourbon, and adds a tiki touch with pineapple syrup. A dash of bitters (gauthier recommends dale degroffs aromatic bitter) and a kiss of absinthe round out the ingredient list, coming together in a delicious glass of christmas magic.
