Blood Oranges develop their signature color during cool, Sicilian fall and winter nights. Their hue ranges from a streaked ruby blush to a deep maroon color. Known locally as Arancia Rossa di Sicilia, this beautiful fruit is typically less acidic and sweeter than other oranges. Their raspberry-like tartness acts as the perfect base in Herb & Lou’s take on the original Whiskey Cocktail, with classic ingredients like Brandied Cherries and Artisanal Bitters. The addition of extracted Ginger adds a unique complexity to this time-honored favorite which is never sweet, always smart. We bet you can’t drink just one.

Directions:

Step 1. Freeze a box of The Cooper Infused Cubes.

Step 3. Drop cubes into a shaker or glass, pairing 1 cube + 1 shot (1.5oz) of your favorite bourbon, rye or seltzer.

Step 4. Shake or Stir until completely dissolved, and enjoy your Blood Orange-Ginger Old Fashioned.

About Cooper:

Crazy. Straight-up crazy. There’s just no other way to describe Cooper. A life-long friend of Herb’s, Coop was the guy who would bust out of the party and literally howl at the moon. His passion for whiskey was as well-known as his loyalty and he may have been to every party Herb and Lou threw. He had a mane of messy, reddish-brown hair and if he wasn’t having a cocktail, you could be certain that he was sleeping it off – somewhere.
