Old Fashioned: Just Like Me

This cocktail is, just as the name implies, old fashioned. It's been around for more than a century, which makes it old, if nothing else.

You can look at this as a sort of short highball. Preparation isn't as easy as some cocktails, but all ingredients are readily available in nearly any good liquor store.

This is how to make an Old Fashioned:

The Old Fashioned

1 Sugar cube

1 Dash Angostura bitters

2 oz Blended whiskey or bourbon

Soda water or club soda

Maraschino cherry or orange slice

Into an Old Fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add a dash of Angostura bitters to the cube. Add a splash of club soda and gently stir. Add several ice cubes and the whiskey, and another splash of club soda. Stir. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and/or a slice of orange.
