Manly Drink of the Week
The Old Fashioned is a damned fine cocktail. It is every bit the classic way to drink whiskey. There are roughly 10,000 different ways to make this drink, but any way that includes muddling an orange slice and a cherry is doing it wrong. Pretty much any other way is correct.
Now I hesitate to post this video because of who is in it…
Say what you will about Rachel Maddow (and I’d agree) but the dude* does know how to fix a drink.
* heh.

ha!… “dude”; i call him that all the time & some of my lib family members get all bent; and they are the ones that espouse “open and affirming” -- i guess that means for anyone but me -- go figure.

other thought(s) --
- madcow seems to really like saying “cocktail”
- is that muddler a strap on style
I leave town for the weekend, and this shit happens.
A) I have already featured the Old Fashioned!
2) It’s SUNDAY which in the order of H&B things, means political ranting.
iii) Maddow?? Seriously??
That’ll teach you. You know I can’t be trusted to post to my own blog.
Word.
*runs like hell*
And 384 Spam comments???
Seriously, just hit the “empty spam” button. It requires less effort than actually posting
jam2 stole all of my good lines.
So you need a muddler for a sugar cube? Must be a helluva cube.
Looks a delightful beverage. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
