During my anniversary dinner on Monday night, I had an Old Fashioned that was truly exceptional. Normally if I have a cocktail I quickly follow up my thoughts with “but the bourbon is the best part. So I’ll just keep bourbon at home.” This time I started thinking about what it would be like to be have an old fashioned just as good in the comfort of my own home. Such a delicacy might even make cooking alone bareable.
Methinks the kitchen bar will soon hold some bitters.

If you love a good Old Fashioned, then I recommend to you the Improved Whisky Cocktail, introduced to me by the excellent bartenders at the Flatiron Lounge: an Old Fashioned, no sugar, and with one bar spoon each of Maraschino liqueur and Cointreau instead.
I should say: i loathe whisky. But Brian swoons for this drink.
You have certainly piqued my interest! I’ll give it a try.
