Happy Hour Friday: The Old Fashioned



Dear Retro-luxe Friends,
Guess what? Don Draper's favorite cocktail is an old fashioned, the same as lil' ole me!

Here's what you need:

4-6 dashes aromatic bitters
½ tsp sugar dissolved with water and bitters
2 shots bourbon or rye whiskey
1 cherry (I usually rinse that cloying syrup off)
1 orange slice
Splash of club soda

Here's what you do:
In a rocks glass, make a muddle with the bitters, sugar and water. Fill glass with crushed ice. Add bourbon. Pour in splash of soda. Add cherry, and orange slice.

  1. He made one of these last week on the show! [I like how your cocktail posts have also included handsome men the past couple of weeks!] I'm going to order one of these the next time I'm out. Thanks, Meredith!
