Did you know
Created by Mike, a passionate cocktail lover from Melbourne, Australia: I’ve been wanting to try Tawny for some time now and finally got around a bottle. It’s so delicious on its own and was even better when I mixed it with bourbon. The rich, sweet, nutty taste brought out the perfect duo. Then to top it off I added some white creme de cacao, a few dashes of spiced cherry bitters and fresh lemon juice to lift it all up and bring that tartness and a splash of soda water for a finish.
