old fashioned


in honor of ariel's mom drink an old fashioned. i can't guarantee you'll like it, unless you go to Matty at NOPA. for the homey folks here is a recipe from The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks by David A Embury. some claim that the old fashioned is the first cocktail.

Old Fashioned

* 12 parts American whiskey
* 1 part simple syrup
* 1-3 dashes Angostura bitters to each drink

In an old-fashioned glass, add bitters to simple syrup and stir. Add about 1 ounce of whiskey and stir again. Add two cubes of cracked, but not crushed, ice and top off with the rest of the whiskey. Twist lemon peel over the top and serve garnished with the lemon peel and a maraschino cherry.
