Midnight Brandy Old Fashioned

The Midnight Brandy Old Fashioned is a slow sip for warm nights, when the Mediterranean air is still heavy with jasmine and stone, and stories are told over glasses that catch the candlelight. Using an aged Spanish brandy as its base, this version swaps fig for something cleaner and more aromatic: a simple orange blossom honey syrup. The floral, amber sweetness highlights the natural warmth of the brandy, while Cinnamon & Orange bitters from The Bitter Club wrap it in gentle spice and citrus oil. It’s a cocktail built for atmosphere — one where every sip lingers like the last light on the water.
