The Treacle No.1 is an Old Fashioned riff with a base of dark rum, combined with simple syrup, aromatic bitters, and an apple cider float. This simple cocktail came together in 1990s London, care of the late Dick Bradsell, the influential bartender behind modern classic creations like the Espresso Martini and the Bramble.

This rum Old Fashioned, from the legendary bartender behind the Espresso Martini, tastes like a sticky toffee pudding.
