We’ve got nothing but time on our hands.
With this truth, unfortunately, many crappy cocktail recipes have surfaced, as ill-advised marketers pump out over-syrupy recipes just to get content on the Web to take advantage of an audience eager to drink at home. Promoting is not a bad thing, per se, but trying to get people to drink poor cocktails at home, well, that’s punishable by melting-too-quickly ice in your next drink.
However, there’s hope a good drink can still be had, created and perfected by a genuinely brilliant bartender.
Meet Charles Joly, bartender and owner of Crafthouse Cocktails, which are the ready-to-drink cocktails we all wish would replace White Claw. Joly is the only American to win World Class Bartender of the Year.
While you cannot sit across from Joly at the moment and watch his amazing technique, you can have one of his bottled cocktails at home. And for Forbes readers, he’s created an amazing Old Fashioned recipe that you must try.
Plus, in a recent YouTube interview, Joly gave me multiple tips to making cocktails at home, which many are trying to do as they’re isolated. And none couldn’t more pertinent than his advice for keeping an eye on your fruits. “If you see a fruit is close to turning [bad], make a syrup out of it,” he says, of course, with intent to use on a drink later or maybe even pancakes. Less waste is key for surviving these days...

Joly’s recipe for an Old Fashioned is just what we all need to get through these isolated times.
