Old Fashioned Cocktail (muddled fruit version)
This drink is often mixed in the glass in which it is to be served. Shaking better incorporates the flavours produced by muddling and fine straining removes...

I make them muddled for guests that do not like straight bourbon. I gently muddle a cherry in the serving glass, add syrup, bitters and stir. Add a shot of bourbon and ice, stir. I may stop here and serve if they do not want it too strong. Otherwise I had a half shot or so of rye whiskey (or more bourbon). Orange peel squeezed and then rubbed on the rim. Garnish with the orange peel and another cherry. I only muddle orange when requested, and then I prepare outside of the serving glass.
