Testing the Total Wine Traveller Whiskey Old Fashioned
As your dedicated and fearless Cocktail Editor, I sacrificed my tastebuds and gastrointestinal peace to test how bad this drink is.
We love our friends at Total Wine & More for the wine. But sometimes the “& More” leaves much to be desired. Recently, a photo of a recipe pinned to a shelf in a TW&M made the rounds in bourbon groups. The proportions seemed…off. We all couldn’t help but wonder how this recipe could see the light of day.
Who would do such a thing to your wonderful customer base? A clueless marketer working on the Traveller account? An accountant doing double duty as store mixologist? A dyslexic associate after a long shift? Someone perhaps trying to make a Trinidad Sour x Old Fashioned crossover happen? Regardless of who is to blame, we knew one thing: this cocktail looked BAD. #cocktailfail
