Hutt's Gambit
This brandy Old Fashioned is a decadent, spirit-forward drink, much like Jabba's own opulent, if slightly greasy, tastes. It's a commanding cocktail for those who appreciate depth.

History
A luxurious take on the Old Fashioned, this cocktail swaps out whiskey for brandy and simple syrup for maple, adding chocolate bitters for a deep, complex flavor profile. It's a fitting tribute to the heavy-handed, yet surprisingly refined, tastes of Jabba the Hutt.
