    Last week I took a bizarre notion that I wanted an 'Old fashioned'.

    I used a recipe from the Cliff House hotel bar in Waterford.

    1. Put 4 drops of agnostura bitters onto a sugar cube and allow to fall into the glass.
    2. Add a teaspoon of cherry syrup (I used Maraschino cherrys in syrup) and muddle.
    3. Add 3 cubes of ice and stir until they melt, repeat this 3 times (9 cubes in total). At each stage with the ice add bourbon* ... A matter of taste but I basically put in a double. Keep stirring.
    4. Add a cherry, slice of orange ... and enjoy?

    Anyone else got a particular recipe / thoughts? Obviously there are a great deal of different recipes out there.

    *I'm using Maker's Mark.

    Recipe sounds good. However I use Woodford Reserve as an alternative to Makers Mark. I recently had an old fashioned in France and they used a slice of lemon peel and a slice of orange peel which worked really well. They also added a delicious boozy maraschino cherry on a cocktail stick...Yum!
