How to make a Treacle

The Treacle is a twist on an Old Fashioned first created by Dick Bradsell. The Treacle is nothing more than a rum Old Fashioned with a float of pressed apple juice.

Traditionally a Treacle is made using a dark rum whilst our video below we opted for the addition of a spiced rum and Regans No. 6 Orange Bitters.
