An iconic drink with the perfect balance of sweet, bitter and the smooth warmth of a good whiskey
Most of us are guilty of binge watching TV series
This past week, I found myself without a show to watch. Oh, mercy me
On the recommendation of my friends, I started the show Mad Men which was based in the 60’s on Madison Avenue
EVERYONE had a cigarette in one hand and an Old Fashioned whiskey cocktail in the other. The cigarette didn’t interest me, but the swanky cocktail did!
You’ll need your favorite whisky (or whiskey, depending upon the region), bitters and simple syrup. The traditional version uses a sugar cube for each cocktail but I substituted simple syrup
Add one teaspoon of simple syrup and 2 dashes of bitters to a glass. Fill with ice and top with 2 ounces of whisky
Garnish with a maraschino cherry and an orange wedge
Cheers!
