Donna's Old Fashioned

Serves one

  • 1/4 of a lemon, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 of an orange, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 6 dashes of Angostura's bitters
  • 2 ounces of bourbon, your favorite kind
  • seltzer, to top off
  • Maraschino cherries, high quality with stems

Directions

Cut the lemon and orange into large chunks and place in the glass of a Boston Shaker with the sugar and bitters. Using a muddler, press the juice from the rind and mix well with the sugar and bitters.

Strain the juice into a short, round glass filled with ice. Add 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Top off with seltzer and garnish with two or three maraschino cherries. Stir and serve immediately.
