Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday...one more day closer to the weekend. It is not yet time for the crazy shots, nothing too complicated, and definitely not anything with a flame. Tuesday calls for a classic cocktail, a true grown up concoction.
Classic Old Fashioned
Getting Started:
2 oz. Bourbon
(Suggestion: Bulliet Rye or Knob Creek)
2 dashes of Bitters
Sugar cube
Splash of water
2 Cherries
(Take it up a notch and use brandied cherries!)
Orange twist
In the bottom of glass, preferably an old fashioned glass or a rocks glass, place your sugar cube, water and bitters, then add your cherries and orange twist, commence muddling.
(Definition: To muddle is to combine ingredients, usually in the bottom of a mixing glass, by pressing them with a muddle before adding the majority of the liquid ingredients.) No muddle, no biggie...use a wooden spoon, the back of a regular spoon, the handle of a spatula, a chopstick, get creative! We are so close...fill the glass with ice, and top with the bourbon of your choice. Enjoy
