This recipe was originally posted on Home Bar Girl as part of a review of the wonderous Cocktail Crate Spiced Old Fashioned Craft Mixer.

This stuff is seriously the bomb and is going so well in all of my autumn/winter cocktails! Excellent gift for any cocktail enthusiast!

The Spiced Old Fashioned Cocktail Craft Mixer has notes of Cinnamon, Allspice, Orange, Caramel sugar and can be used in place of Simple Syrup. And oh, how I have used it! I've used it with Apple Brandy, Bourbon, Rye, Rum, and Gin! It's just so wonderful! This cocktail is a variation on a Manhattan and I've named it Long Island City because that's where Cocktail Crate is made.

Long Island City

• 2 oz Aged Rum
• 3/4 oz Carpano Antica
• 1/2 oz Cocktail Crate Spiced Old Fashioned Mixer
• 2 dashes Orange Bitters or Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters
