I recently had one of the best cocktails of my life. I am on the hunt for the ingredients. The amarena cherry has ruined maraschinos for me. ;:;banghead

Just thought you folks should know.

This season, we’re keeping it simple and showcasing our favourite classic cocktails. Known as the original cocktail and the most sophisticated of them all, the Old Fashioned was originally made with whisky, water, bitters and sugar. Staying true to its roots, we’ve carefully crafted this bold classic with warm flavours of Bulleit bourbon, angostura bitters and sugar. Served over an extra-large ice cube with an amarena cherry, this is the perfect drink to ease into autumn.

damn... i thought this was gonna be a post Valentine's day reference to south park, the shake weight and a different kind of old fashion. but, this will do. they are one of my favorite cocktails and i don't order them enough. be careful where you order them though. like a lot of cocktails, if the ingredients aren't in almost perfect proportion, they can be tough to handle.

Low hanging fruit:

Guywhoaskedforit: Old is the only kind of "Fashion" you're able to produce.

Guy, I think we all enjoy a good old fashioned no matter what the meaning of it is.

Grandpa's special. Start with 1-2 teaspoons of white sugar. Add a couple hits of bitter. Mix well. Add 1-2 shots of southern comfort. Top with Canadian dry club soda, leave 1/2 inch from top. Add cherry and cherry juice to flavor. Mix well. Guaranteed to please.

A 3 finger Manhattan is my favorite old time cocktail.
2 shots of George Dickle rye 90 proof whiskey, one shoot dry vermouth, 3 shakes of bitters, in a low ball glass with three cubes of ice and 2 cherries.
2 glasses will relax ya, 4 will pass your ass out, 5 has been done a couple times, 6 should be illegal.

I am with Juan... Manhattan's are my drink of choice. Although i prefer barrel proof bourbon (Stagg Jr, Knob Creek Single Barrel, Turkey Rare Breed, etc...) to his Rye. Rye is just too sweet to my tastes to add vermouth too, although i will do it on occasion but will be very Rye heavy 4:1-5:1 type ratio. Have not tried the amarena cherries but do like the luxardo's quite a bit.

To clarify - I have had a dozen or so Old Fashioneds and hundreds of Manhattans. But there was something magical about the ingredients and approach to this one in Vancouver.

The Bulleit has been obtained (on sale at Happy's). Shopping locally for the Amarena cherries but will likely be forced to Amazon them.

I don't believe anyone should question their sexuality on this thread. It may be a medical condition.

I'd like to post a funny internet meme, but it would probably get Vollmer's peepee slapped by Google again. Kind of an anti-old-fashioned.

I hear of old fashioned and I think of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" the airplane seen with Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett and Jim Backus. "You call that an Old Fashioned?".. "now I'll make an Old Fashioned the old fashioned way like dear old dad used to!"
