Handy Schiller Old Fashioned

Handy Schiller's Old Fashioned comes pre-mixed in a can, so there's nothing to measure, muddle, or stir. The label names the drink as an Old Fashioned. The classic version is a whiskey-based cocktail sweetened lightly and seasoned with bitters, usually with a citrus-peel note. Expect that profile here: a spirit-forward, gently sweet drink with spice and orange-zest bitterness. It should be closer to a sipping cocktail than a sparkling, fruity canned drink. The listing doesn't give the base whiskey, the ABV, or the can size, so check the can for those. Serve it cold. Chill the can in the refrigerator for a few hours first. Then pour it over a large ice cube in a rocks glass, which keeps dilution slow so the drink stays closer to its intended strength. A strip of orange peel or a cocktail cherry makes a simple garnish if you have one. Pouring it over ice from the can is the better choice, since drinking straight from a can tends to flatten a still, spirit-based drink. An Old Fashioned suits food with some richness or char. Expect it to go well with grilled steak, smoked ribs or brisket, burgers, aged cheddar, salted nuts, and charcuterie. It also works for a fireside drink, a tailgate cooler, a camping trip, or a small gathering where you'd rather not stock a bar.
