Name: Mid-Century (1950s) Old Fashioned
Ingredients: 1 Orange wedge; 2 Maraschino cherries; ¼ oz Simple syrup — 8ml; 2 oz Bourbon — 60ml; 2 dashes Angostura bitters

old-fashioned bourbon

Cloudy, pulpy, faintly pink at the bottom — this is the one purists point at when they want to explain what an Old Fashioned isn't. The muddled fruit is doing real sweetening work, so a quarter ounce of syrup is plenty and a half turns it into dessert. I've heard all the arguments and I keep making it anyway.
