Me and steve are enjoying old fashions on vherf now. Why wait?"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

2 cherries is too many.
it's good, but I'm not sure it would pass muster with a purist. 2 cherries, one sugar cube, 4 pops orange bitters, 4 pops regular bitters, 2 shots knobcreek rye and ice.
Apparently knob gets censored1 -
Trial run with Kirkland Canadian Whisky, a vanilla bean infused sugar cube, four shots of bitters and a slice of orange cutie with a JD Howard from @Bigshizza, thanks Jim.

Try a nice rye bourbon with the okd fashion. The rye really blends nicely with the sugar. Canadian whiskey would be way to sweet yak."I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

I'm going to throw out Saturday May 19th for the Old Fashioned vHerf, work for everyone?
I figured I was doing it wrong, I have a lot of Canadian Whisky (probably because I don't drink it all that much), a little Eagle Rare (which seems too nice to use in a cocktail) so I'll have to pick up some Rye.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )0 -
Gives me a couple of weekend to practice.....0

I think that's as good as any day to do it.
I know what you mean about cutting the good stuff but I think since its not diluted by much of anything but ice, quality liquor is important to start with. My first one was pretty low shelf stuff and combined with my lack of practice, left a lot to be desired. I need to approach it more scientifically moving forward. Record what I did and don't change all the variables at once.0 -
Here's what I use. Three dashes of the old fashion bitters, two of the orange bitters, capfull or two of the simple syrup. YMMV...
The better the Rye, the better your old fashion will be. The simple syrup mixes faster and better than a sugar cube. I don't care for the cherry.
Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that corndog?1 -
I make my own simple syrup... takes 15min, lasts forever in the fridge."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis1

Same recipe as last night minus one cherry plus orange peel. I'm getting closer.

I hope that Tat has as much age as a lot of your stash. I had a couple with a couple years on them and holy **** they were tasty.Captain_Call said:Same recipe as last night minus one cherry plus orange peel. I'm getting closer.1 -
My old fashioned tonight. I skipped the ice, bitters, sugar, cherry and orange. I guess its just a glass of Balvenie doublewood then.
Team O'Donnell FTW!

It's at least 3. Maybe 4. I can't really recall. Yeah it's pretty goodCharlieHeis said:

In an effort to burn up some volume of inferior hooch, I resorted to double cherries again, I reused my orange peel, and tried that splash of club soda. Not a half bad way to turn cheap stuff into pee

Yours looks pretty cloudy, what’s going with that? Here’s what I was making.
Cigars were made to be smoked, whiskey was made to be drank and women were made to be loved. The only thing I try to age is myself.1 -
I do not have a strainer and I'm using sugar cubes that tend not to dissolve entirely. I also have really hard water ice cubes so as they melt they leave behind floaters. I also mashed up my old cherries rather than using fresh ones. I've reached IDGAF statusfirehouseguy said:Yours looks pretty cloudy, what’s going with that?2
