Chastity Harvey, the executive chef at The Whiskey, has found a fun way to work some of the restaurant’s namesake into a duck and chorizo slider she features.
She takes the ingredients that would go into a traditional Old Fashioned cocktail and new-fashions an aioli with them. Add some arugula, marinated tomatoes and a smear of brie and you’ve got a great slider.
Mix yourself an Old Fashioned and watch the video as Harvey explains the process, then give the recipe below a try.
Just don’t drink the aioli.
