Making an Old James borrows techniques from New Orleans and the saloons of the Far West!
Combining the sugar and Saint James Bitters with water creates an aromatic “sauce base” which will bring out the very best in your choice of a more delicate Old James, made with Cuvée 1765 rum, or more spicy and spirited with SAINT JAMES Vieux 7 Ans.
