Today's Recipe is How to make An Old Fashioned from scratch:

Grab an Old Fashioned glass and set aside.

In a mixing glass combine:

  •  Half a bar spoon of a mix of granulated and brown sugar

  •  Splash of club soda

  •  3-4 dashes each of Orange & Old Fashioned Bitters

  • Muddle the above to break down and dissolve the bitters to 'marry them' with the sugar and water

  • Add some GOOD ice

  • Pour in your Brandy (or Whiskey)

  • Drizzle some Italian Amarena cherry juice over and in between the ice

    ( ( ( STIR ) ) )

Grab your old fashioned glass from earlier and place a BIG block of ice (sphere or cube) into it

  • Place a julep strainer over your mixing glass and pour your cocktail into your awaiting glass of ice

  • Squeeze the oil of a lemon rind over the glass and 'rim the rim'

  • Add an Italian Amarena stemless cherry by Filthy Food @filthy.for.life
