Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this Old Fashioned different from a classic?
This recipe replaces bourbon or rye with Social · Blood Orange by Powered by Plants — a hemp-derived THC formula that delivers warm social connection and a light body buzz. The result is a sophisticated, alcohol-free cocktail with the same slow-sipping ritual as a classic Old Fashioned.
Do I need bitters in the Blood Orange Old Fashioned?
The orange bitters alternative adds depth and a subtle herbal note that balances the citrus. You can skip it, but the drink will taste sweeter and less complex. Non-alcoholic bitters like Ritual or Lyre's work well here.
What size ice cube works best?
A single large cube — roughly 2 inches square — melts slowly and keeps the drink cold without diluting it quickly. A standard ice ball works equally well. Avoid crushed ice, which melts too fast and waters the drink down.
