From Monday 2nd to Saturday 7th November 2026, you can create your own Old Fashioned at Brasserie Blanc, choosing every element yourself for the same price as a regular Old Fashioned.

We’re raising a glass to the start of Woodford Reserve’s Old Fashioned Month, and we’d love you to join us.

Here you’ll find four simple steps, everything waiting behind our bar and a few combinations to inspire you.

What is Create Your Own Old Fashioned at Brasserie Blanc?

It’s an Old Fashioned made entirely your way. You choose the spirit, the sweetness, the bitters and the finishing touch, then our team brings it all together in the glass.

Good food and drink should always be about pleasure and generosity. This is that same idea in a glass, with 64 possible combinations waiting to be discovered.

How to create your own Old Fashioned in four steps

Step 1: Choose your bourbon or whiskey

The spirit is the soul of your Old Fashioned. Woodford Reserve Bourbon brings warmth and a quiet richness, while Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is smooth, mellow and an old friend to many.

Step 2: Choose your syrup

Now you decide its personality. Agave syrup is soft and gentle, cinnamon syrup wraps you in warm spice, raspberry syrup brings a blush of red fruit and pineapple syrup adds a little sunshine to a November evening.

Step 3: Choose your bitters

Bitters are the seasoning, just as a pinch of salt lifts a sauce. Angostura Bitters give depth and gentle spice, while Orange Bitters add a fresh, fragrant brightness.

Step 4: Choose your garnish

Finally, the flourish. An orange twist releases its fragrant oils over the glass, a burnt cinnamon stick leaves a whisper of smoke and a bird’s eye chilli brings a spark of heat. For the playful among you, there is also popcorn.
