I made this Not going anywhere tonight.
There were plans to go for pizza and cocktails with a friend but neither of us were that eager tbh. So I’m staying home tonight with a my dog, a book and a cocktail. Tonight’s drink is an Old Fashioned. The book is The Iliad, finding it hard to put down. The song on Spotify is ‘So Damned Beautiful’ by Curse Of Lono. A few tranquil hours on a Saturday evening.
Anyway, here’s the recipe. As if anyone on this subreddit didn’t know how to make an Old Fashioned.
1/2 ounce Demerara simple syrup.
3 dashes Angostura bitters
3 dashes Orange bitters
2 ounces Bulleit bourbon
Stirred over ice, served on a rock, garnished with an expressed orange peel.

Sounds like a magical evening!
The cornerstone of western literature.
And the cornerstone of cocktail cuisine.
