  Now I know what to make on Sunday. #jfk #waffles #sunday #brunch

  My Old-Fashioned ... 1. I begin with a beautiful glass ... 2. I drop in a Demerara sugar cube ... 3. I douse it with aromatic bitters. Three or four dashes. I give the cube a moment to soak it up. ​... 4. I use a muddler to crush the soaked cube and mix it with the bitters. Essentially, I'm trying to make a paste or syrup base.​ ... 5. I drop in a single large ice cube or sphere.​ ... 6. I slowly pour in three fluid ounces of bourbon, usually Bullitt.​ ... 7. I gently stir it 20 times, keeping the back of the spoon lightly pressed against the inside of the glass as I stir.​ ... 8. I cut off an orange rind, and with the white part facing up, I hold it over the drink and quickly fold it lengthwise. The oils spray into the bourbon. I then rub the rind along the edge of the glass and the inside of the glass. I then drop it into the drink.​ ... 9. I drop in two Luxardo cherries and two spoonfuls of the dark syrup.​ ... 10. I light a cigar, watch the sunset and take a moment to appreciate the small luxuries and pleasures of life.​ #oldfashioned #cocktails #pleasure #bourbon

  My inner self.
