It’s cold and we suddenly want to drink brown liquor. This week, we head to Bar Virage – the Israeli-influenced hangout that has been serving thirsty guests of the past 20 (!) years – for the S’Old Fashion with Old Overholt rye, silan syrup, rhubarb bitters and a fig garnish.
As an homage to Israeli cocktail culture and heritage, Bar Virage uses indigenous ingredients such as the silan syrup, a date honey found in every local Israeli market and used in the S’Old Fashion as a sub for sugar cubes traditionally found in an Old Fashioned. This riff on the classic cocktail uses different ingredients but it’s just as delicious.

- 2.5 oz Old Overholt rye
- .5 oz silan syrup
