Old Fashioned
2 oz. | bourbon | |
1/2 slice | orange, fresh | |
several dashes | Angostura Bitters | |
1 | sugar cube | |
splash | club soda |
Place the (thick) orange slice in a "rocks" glass. Put the sugar cube on top and splash with a few dashes of bitters. Add a splash of club soda (to help dissolve the sugar). Muddle well. Fill with ice and your choice of bourbon (Graham and Sue), scotch (Big Bob, Kim, and Mike), or blended whiskey (Jean). Stir well.
This is a classic cold weather drink. Your ability to make an Old Fashioned will impress the hell out of her grandfather.
