NØLO Recipe: Gold Fashioned
Aug 29, 2026
Warm, spiced, and spirit-forward, the Gold Fashioned brings the ritual of an Old Fashioned into zero-proof twist-on-a-classic territory.
The Story
BARE Caribbean Gold Spiced Rum gives this cocktail the "this is GOOOOOOD" factor, with layers of caramel, vanilla, molasses, and rounded baking spice.
A sugar cube adds richness and ceremony, orange bitters bring balance, and an expressed orange peel makes the whole glass smell like fall.
Make It
- 2 oz BARE Caribbean Gold Spiced Rum
- 1 demerara or brown sugar cube
- 2 dashes alcohol-free orange bitters
- 1 teaspoon water
- Orange peel
- Ice
Put your sugar cube in a rocks glass. Add the orange bitters and water, then muddle until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add the BARE Caribbean Gold Spiced Rum and one large ice cube. Stir until well chilled.
Express a wide orange peel over the drink and add it as the garnish.
🍸 Lazy Barkeep Says
No muddler? NOT A PROBLEM! Use the back of a bar spoon to crush and dissolve the sugar cube. A few remaining sugar crystals are perfectly fine—they’ll continue dissolving as you sip.
