An Old Fashioned Two Ways — William Charleton

I don’t generally do “drink” recipes because I don’t see any need to glorify drinking. But every once in a while it’s nice to sit back and relax with a cocktail. An Old Fashioned is generally my go-to if I’m having a drink. There are many different ways to make an old fashioned.

In this post, there are 2 different recipes. One is an Old Fashioned my way, the other is an Old Fashioned Jesse’s way.

I like to keep it simple:

Bourbon

Sugar

Real Bitters (I used Urban Moonshine Citrus bitters)

Seltzer

Orange Peel- I don’t usually add this, but I happened to have an orange.

Jesse’s Old Fashioned:

Bourbon

Sugar

Angostura Bitters

Walnut Bitters

Seltzer

Maraschino Cherries

Orange Slice

This is a great way to stimulate digestion, believe it or not! The alcohol will make your stomach more acidic. The bitters will promote the release of bile. The sugar will help your liver process the alcohol, and help with digestion as well. What more could you want?
