I am a firm believer that there is no reason to ever mess with the classics, and that philosophy carries over to my adult beverages of choice. In a tribute to the upcoming 6th season of Mad Men, I made one of Don Draper's favorites, the Old Fashioned. Start with a splash of water, a few dashes of Angostura bitters and some white sugar in an old fashioned glass (one day I will post my manifesto on proper bar glassware), mix, then add ice and 2 oz. of whiskey (I prefer rye, but I was out so I used bourbon). Finish it off with a garnish of orange peel, and it's ready to go (I was out of oranges, so I used lemon instead).
can't wait to read that manifesto on proper bar glassware! i'm sure i have none of it.
