The Midnight Old Fashion is a moody, winter-spiced take on a classic whiskey cocktail. Built with bourbon, LAVA Spiced Demerara Syrup for warmth and body, and LAVA Grenadine for a subtle cranberry-red undertone, this drink is rich, slow-sipping, and perfect for cold evenings or holiday gatherings. It delivers familiar Old Fashioned comfort with a deeper seasonal twist.
