There are a thousand ways to make an old fashioned. You can muddle oranges and cherries, use a sugar cube or simple syrup or as we prefer, make it "old."

Ingredients:

2 1/2 oz. of Bourbon or Whiskey

1 oz. of Simple Syrup (Sage in the fall is lovely)

3 Dashes of Angostura Bitters

Orange Peel 

Marasca Cherry (Optional)

Directions:

Pour the bourbon or whiskey over ice. We prefer using a large rock instead of many small ones so the drink does not become diluted too quickly.

Add bitters.

Stir the mixture. 

Take orange peel and lightly rub it around the rim of the glass and then garnish drink with peel.

Add Marasca cherry.
