Scorch n' torch old fasioned bar

The Old Fashioned is one of the world's most iconic cocktails.

Simple in construction yet endlessly customizable, it has remained a favourite for generations thanks to its balance of spirit, sweetness, bitters, and aroma. At Ranahan's during the Calgary Stampede, guests can experience this timeless cocktail in a uniquely interactive way through the Scorch N' Torch Old Fashioned Bar.

Part cocktail. Part theatre. Entirely unforgettable.

Unlike a traditional cocktail order, the Scorch N' Torch Old Fashioned Bar invites guests to customize their drink and watch it come to life before their eyes.

The experience combines premium spirits, aromatic smoke, fire, and carefully selected flavour options to create a personalized Old Fashioned that is as memorable to watch as it is to drink.

Among those flavour options is Big Bear Banff Blend Pine Syrup, bringing the taste of the Canadian Rockies directly into the glass.

Crafted from a blend of five hand-foraged Spring green pines in the Canadian Rockies, Banff Blend is unlike any traditional cocktail syrup.

Its flavour unfolds in layers, revealing notes of dark cherry, black currant, apricot, honey, dark chocolate, coffee, wild pine, and a touch of mountain smoke.

These natural flavours pair exceptionally well with whisky, making Banff Blend a natural fit for the Old Fashioned.

When used in place of a conventional simple syrup, it transforms a familiar cocktail into something complex, with a taste that evolves and deepens - perfect for an Old Fashioned.
