This beautiful Italian Double
Old Fashioned Avio Coloured Tumbler is in the New Double
Old Fashioned shape - a symbol of the world of cocktails and drinking
culture, especially for drinks served "on the rocks", the Double Old
Fashioned Tumbler has deep roots in American culture and mixology. Named
after the cocktail Old Fashioned, the first recipe appearing in the
early 1800s. These tumblers are hand blown by artisan glass makers which
results in unique characteristics such as tiny bubbles in the glass.
There are also slight differences in size, shape and the intensity of
the colour in each piece.
Although dish washer safe for easy cleaning, we prefer to hand wash with a mild detergent.

Old Fashioned Avio Coloured Tumbler look wonderful mixed and matched with other colours in the range.

Recipe for the perfect Old Fashioned;
Double measure (50ml) of your favourite bourbon (mine is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked)
Serve
over a Full Cube - typically two-by-two-inches, these large ice cubes
melt slower and provide a clean look to your drink and due to the larger
size and slower melt rate, full cubes offer maximum cooling and reduced
amounts of dilution.
2 x teaspoons of sugar syrup (made using 50/50 sugar to water)
2 x dashes of Angostura Bitters
A slice of Orange peel
1 x Luxardo Cherry on a cocktail stick
