Recipe for old fashioned cocktail
My take on a delightful and delicious Old Fashioned.
One of my favorite drinks, as it has everything: Alcohol flavor combined with bitterness and sweetness.
I really like the Kentucky bourbon called Maker’s Mark – but if we are sticking to the cheaper options, Jim Beam or Jack Daniels (on offer) are good choices.

- Serve immediately.
