I bet you’re the life of the party.Vitamin Water
Just a soda. I did enough drinking last night at a Chinese restaurant!! Hah!!
We used to be regulars at The Keg in Puyallup and our regular waitron gave us a huge handful which I keep in a beer glass under the bar. I miss that Keg. We went on vacation to BC, came home, went to eat, and they were ripping the interior out. It’s called Cheers now and a dive bar.Love the pick/stirrer!

Forgot the picture.Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned in the hotel bar tonight… the gal in the bar has been here for years and was happy to see us.
This one wasn't on the list of low acid beers, but I bought a sixer and after two, I'm not suffering the stomach burn.Well, geez, I hope not!

NYE I had an Old Fashioned that included a slice of orange that came from Costco and looked like red grapefruit. I had a hearing aid appointment at Costco today so picked up a bag. They are quite tasty.

You are right. Everyone has their own twist and use different bourbon’s and rye’s. I started out using the basic recipe of a tsp water with a sugar cube, add several shakes bitters, crush, cherry, orange slice, large ice cube, then add two shots booze. Now I use a half shot of orange liquor instead of the sugar cube.Have you posted your favorite recipe for Old Fashioneds? So many variations!

The sugar cubes I’m using are from Turkey and on the small side.I bought a whole box of about 1,000 sugar cubes and the first Old Fashioned I made with ONE was too sweet. I think I'll start a new thread for sugar cube ideas.
In the meantime, I'm drinking a Bloody Mary while cooking and watching the Patriots ski on the football field.
