Silverhand’s Old Fashioned
An Old Fashioned that’s as bitter and punchy as a rockerboy’s manifesto, using beer syrup to bridge the gap between a dive bar and a revolutionary. This is a classic Old Fashioned variant with a chip on its shoulder.

History
A riff on the Benton's Old Fashioned logic from Death & Co, using a beer-reduction syrup instead of maple. The flavor is chrome and grit, hitting the classic 2:1/4 spirit-to-sugar ratio.
