Cocktail and G&T recipes

The Old Fashioned is one of the oldest and most iconic cocktails—a simple yet refined blend of spirit, sugar, and bitters. The earliest versions date back to the 18th century, often made with brandy or gin. In the U.S., whiskey eventually became the preferred base, and as bartenders began experimenting with absinthe, Chartreuse, and other liqueurs, guests with more conservative tastes started requesting an "Old-Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail" to ensure they got the original recipe.

At Njord, we’ve taken this time-honored cocktail and given it a new chapter. Instead of whiskey, we use Njord Distilled Barrel-Aged, a gin that has been aged in carefully selected barrels, developing complex flavor notes. We experiment with casks from whiskey and wine production, adding both depth and unique nuances—from smoky undertones to fruity dimensions.

The result? A Njord Old Fashioned that brings botanical elegance from gin into this classic cocktail. Still traditional, still simple, but with a depth that makes it truly special.
