Giffard Caramel Toffee Liqueur?! This is something I've never heard of, much less have in my larder. I understand why you do this kind of thing, and you do it continually, but your recipes would be tried more if you offered substitutes or how-to-make-ersatz-versions of uncommon ingredients. That way, if I liked the jury-rigged version, I'd be much more likely to go for the real thing - and Giffards would sell more. As it is, this recipe prompted me to make an Old Fashioned, period.
With all due respect, this site has a plethora of average-but-well-stocked-bar recipes. I too cannot make this cocktail, however I appreciate its inclusion.
One is always able to just scroll past to another drink that fits your personal bar on this (free!) site. :)
I created this cocktail after finding cute chocolate-covered garnish-sized gingerbread men for sale in Hotel Chocolat. I used Giffard’s liqueur, without their prompting me, due to its flavour. For our UK readers, Giffard Toffee is available directly from us for a mere £15.95. In the USA it’s available from Destination Beverage and others.
