Old Money

Old Money by Ben Siegel

Here’s a toast to a new collaborative project which is shining new light and breathing new life into hard to find collectible creations of the past. Tartarus, the moniker of the new company behind these replicas, is launching their brand with a shiny metal version of an award winning, clever coin release conundrum. They took and old money puzzle, put some old money in it, and made it shiny and new again.

Ben Siegel from Aspen, Colorado’s Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar suggests that his equal parts cocktail, reminiscent of an Autumn cobbler, is actually perfect for the end of summer vibe. It mixes tequila and mezcal together in a creative agave “old fashioned” meets “tequila sour” sweetened with honey and the decadent spiced pear liqueur from St George Distillery. I’ll take any excuse to use that in a drink! The cocktail sits somewhere between the more familiar formulas in a surprisingly refreshing spin. Free up some time and make yourself one, too. Cheers!
