An easy Old Fashioned with more rock and less talk
Scavenge this stuff from the kitchen
• 3 fluid ounces (9 cl) of Bedtime® Bourbon straight bourbon whiskey
• 5 dashes of Fee Brothers orange bitters
• 2 sugar cubes OR 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of sugar
• A big ice cube, as big as you can manage to fit in the glass
• Club soda
• 2 Luxardo Maraschino cherries
• Toothpick
• A drink delivery device (preferably a clean glass with a big opening, but that plastic tumbler you got free from your job will also do)
Put it together
1
Put the sugar or sugar cubes in the glass.
2
Get the sugar wet with five healthy dashes of Fee Brothers orange bitters. Don’t be shy.
3
Throw in a splash of club soda.
4
Smash the sugar, club soda and bitters together with a muddler or wooden spoon until the sugar is no longer distinguishable as granules.
5
Tilt the glass around so this sweet stuff kind of coats the inside walls of your glass.
6
Place that big ice cube in the glass.
7
Finally! Add 3 fluid ounces (9 cl) of Bedtime Bourbon. Mix that around with a stirring rod, blending in the sugar and bitters from the bottom of the glass.
8
Brutally stab a couple cherries with your toothpick and drop that into the side of the glass.

Bottoms up!
