This Old Fashioned Craft Cocktail Kit is for the whiskey lover in your life. Start with a locally distilled whiskey. Place dried cherries, orange slices, thyme, and sugar in a Mason jar. Does your someone special like baking spices? Add some fresh ginger. Do they love cherries? Add extra. Perhaps they are vodka drinkers? Swap out the whiskey and the cherries, and add fresh lime and a few dashes of orange bitters instead. Just three days later: a scrumptious, personalized gift is ready for giving.
