@sentientdessert I actually got the recipe from Total Wine. 2.5oz of bourbon, .5 oz of simple syrup, three dashes of bitters—I use Fee Bros., which for my money is the best out there.
@LiberalLibrarian I hope it tastes good.
@sentientdessert Oh, it's quite nummie.

@LiberalLibrarian have you tried a luxardo cherry with it? Pricey but just right:)
And not getting judgy, what whisky/whiskey is appropriate in a librarian’s home?
@Valkaru Oh Lordy, what whisk(e)y isn't? For scotch I prefer single malts from the Highlands or Speyside, as they're usually not peaty. For bourbon? So many good options. Evan Williams bottled in bond is excellent for the price point.
@LiberalLibrarian sorry, I am usually good as a pedant but for some reason chose to not be clear in my question, but appreciate the response. I was more specifically wondering about the alcohol portion of your old fashioned. I suppose I could try using a single malt with the bitters and simple syrup, but on a rock (frozen granite stones, I’m in New Hampshire after all) seems like a better way for moderating my rate of consumption.
@Valkaru Ah, sorry! 2.5oz bourbon, .5oz simple syrup, and for the bitters I used Fee Bros., which for my money is the best out there.
@LiberalLibrarian My two favourite cocktails are Old Fashioned and Gin and Tonic :)
@IrelandTorin As they should be, because they're so simple.
@LiberalLibrarian Thank you. They were delicious. I had to Uber home.
@LiberalLibrarian Did you muddle the fruit yourself?
