The Perfect Classic Ole Fashioned

I really don’t have much to say here, but I hope that you find this cocktail enjoyable.

I enjoy a very classic no frills Ole Fashioned.  I don’t like simple syrup, muddled oranges and cherries, or anything other extras in my glass.  To me an Ole Fashioned only needs four ingredients.  Those being bourbon, sugar, aromatic bitters, and an orange peel.

Taking a bit of time and care when combining these four very simple ingredients gives you in my opinion the prefect cocktail.

  3. Add 3 oz. of bourbon to the cane sugar and bitters and stir for 60 second until you can see that the cane sugar has all dissolved.
  4. Add a handful of ice to the mixture and continue to stir for another 30 seconds.
  5. Pour the cocktail over a rocks glass filled with ice cubes.
  6. Express the orang peel, this is just a fancy way to say squeeze it and spray the oils out, over the top of the cocktail, rub the peel around the edge of the glass, and enjoy!

Notes

If you have the ability to make large square ice cubes I'd recommend using one of those when serving your drinks instead of regular ice cubes.

Bourbon Milk Punch

With the holidays upon us you’ll have more days off at home; which means you’ll have more days where you can start your day off with a cocktail rather than just coffee.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you were over at a relative’s or friend’s house and when they offered you a drink with breakfast they offered you something other than coffee or a mimosa?  Well you can now be that person that everyone talks in great admiration about, “He/She made us this awesome bourbon milk punch to go with breakfast!”

Thee Old Gold

To all of my Alpha Phi Alpha brothers out there this drink is in particular for y’all.  When I was thinking of a name for this drink Thee Old Gold popped into my head and it just felt right.  Running it and a few other names past some of my Alphabama brothers they seemed to like it as well so here we are… The black the black the black and OLD GOLD!

Thee Old Gold is a drink that I came up with after having something very similar served to me on a few occasions.  I’ve never known the exact ratios that different bartenders used when making their version of the drink, but I must say I wasn’t at all disappointed that I had to drink cocktail after cocktail to get it to my liking.

Mixed Berry Bourbon Lemonade

Scrolling Pinterest as I do quite often I came across a whiskey lemonade of course I clicked on it.  There were many other posts on Pinterest of whiskey lemonades; each with it’s own little flavor. So here is mine to add to the collection of recipes on the internet.

I drink a lot of  bourbon and whiskey.  Being from northern Alabama I have been around bourbon and whiskey my entire life.  My childhood home is a mere hour or so away from Lynchburg, TN where Jack Daniels is distilled.  Mind you Jack Daniels is not a bourbon; it’s a whiskey.
