FOR NO IMAGINABLE REASON I have decided to become very skilled at mixing Old Fashioneds

Please provide favorite recipes, ingredients, and sources of ingredients

Mid-thread I order one and the "Old Fashioned" I am given is bourbon, bitters, ice. Had to ask for simple syrup and orange.

Now on flight and out of an abundance of caution I ordered bourbon straight up

Stadium Market is definitely the destination for Old Fashioned supplies

I have this fabulous Old Fashioned thread

I now have a lurking flu

I add, what, a teaspoon of hot water to any of these delicious concoctions and it's a medicinal toddy, right?

Because of this thread I now have

big-ass ice cubes
bitters (cardamom, orange)
four varieties of whiskey
muddler
strainer
oranges
jigger

ECONOMY: STIMULATED

And two varieties of fancy-ass cherries

orange peel
1/2 oz simple syrup
<muddle>
big-ass ice cube
Fee Brothers cherry bitters
2 oz Very Old Barton
<stir>
Amarena cherry

also: had a steak for dinner

feel like I am living in Mad Men

These Amarena cherries are AMAZING

I will DISCIPLINE myself by ONLY allowing myself a cherry when I drink 2 oz Bourbon
