Ritz Old Fashioned

The Ritz Old Fashioned is a sophisticated twist on the classic Old Fashioned, blending the traditional elements with a touch of opulence. This cocktail features a robust base of Bourbon Whiskey, which provides a rich and smoky character. The addition of Orange Liqueur and Maraschino Liqueur introduces a sweet and citrusy complexity, while Lemon Juice adds a refreshing tartness to balance the flavors. An egg is incorporated to give the drink a creamy, velvety texture, making it stand out from the standard Old Fashioned. Sugar and Bitters are essential for adding depth and highlighting the intricate flavors, and a splash of Soda Water gives it a light, effervescent finish.
