History
This mocktail reimagines the classic Old Fashioned, replacing whiskey and traditional bitters with a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative and a rich, homemade spiced blackberry syrup. The dark, brooding flavors and the 'forbidden fruit' essence of blackberries perfectly capture the rebellious spirit of the lyric 'Daddy said 'Don't you go to the Pink Pony Club.''
