A: The best Old Fashioned cocktail is the one in your hand.

Old Fashioned afficiado's drink many iterations of this wonderful concoction, but basically the cocktail is constructed thusly:

  • Old Fashioned glass
  • Ice (lots)
  • Brown alcohol (rye or bourbon preferred)
  • Sugar water (either sugar cube w/water or simple syrup)
  • Bitters (2, 3, or 4 dashes)
  • Orange slice
  • Lemon slice
  • Marschino cherry

Note: Communists hate Old Fashioned's AND God.
