The Old Fashioned
Put an orange slice in the bottom
of a glass, add a bit of Really Simple Syrup*, and muddle (press the orange
with the back of a fork). Pour in some bourbon, whiskey, or rye, add a few
drops of bitters. Stir. Add ice. Serve. Forget the cherries unless you’re under
12.
*Really Simple Syrup: add equal
amounts of sugar and water to a jar. Shake.
