old fashioned cocktail
This classic Old Fashioned Cocktail is sure to please even the most discriminating palate without breaking the bank. This cocktail combines good sipping whiskey, a little bit of simple syrup, orange bitters, a spritz of orange oil or a splash of orange juice (depending on your taste), an orange twist and cocktail cherry all stirred over ice. It is truly a bourbon whiskey lover’s treat. Hubby and I love to entertain family and friends here at the humble bungalow. So we always have the ingredients for a few adult beverages that we can prepare on a moments notice.
