New-Fashioned

A sophisticated yet approachable bourbon cocktail that’s perfect for any occasion


In the South, bourbon is more than a spirit—it’s a tradition. The New-Fashioned honors that heritage with a fresh, elegant twist. Anchored by the rich warmth of Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, this cocktail finds harmony in the subtle sweetness of elderflower liqueur and the bright notes of citrus, all topped off with a refreshing splash of soda. Sophisticated yet easygoing, it’s perfect for those who appreciate the depth of bourbon but prefer a lighter, refined sip. Try it for yourself at home or experience it firsthand at the Garden & Gun Club.
