What You Should Be Drinking Right Now: The Old Fashioned

During this time of year drinks can start to seem a bit monotonous. Its mid January so your typical heavy winter drinks are starting to grow old on you but its to soon for lighter summer cocktails. Furthermore, I have always said to drink what you like and not be afraid of what people think but I do draw a line at some point. A man should pretty much always avoid over the top, fruity, sugary cocktails but thats getting away from the point of this post. The suggestion I have for you today stradles the line between the Winter and Summer cocktail. So here it is what you should be drinking right now

*******The Old Fashioned

This cocktail is simple and refreshing but the fact that it is made with bouron gives it that extra body and warmth you are still looking for this time of year. Now I do have to say, like many recipes, there are multiple versions of this drink and you can customize to taste. I like, and advocate, the simple straight forward ingredients below. However, some do use a cube of sugar, or some bitters. This is my interpretation that I would like to pass on to you to enjoy tonight, tommorow, or whenever your next drinking occasion occurs.

Bourbon
Club Soda
A lemon wedge

Thats all you need to have a great cocktail. Plus, the flavor is not over powewring by any means which goes to say that you can have a couple of these and not get over powered by pointless "mixers"
