The Red Fashioned
It's another Dinner Club birthday. Today it's Matt's turn. Happy Birthday Matt! In his honor, Nick concocted these cocktails, which we raise(d) in salute of you, Matt! This is our take on the Old Fashioned. For Matt we 'new-fangled' it up.
Recipe - Makes one
1 demerara sugar cube (can sub regular sugar cube)
2 shakes Angostura bitters
1 blood orange slice
1/4 cup Jim Beam Red Stag Black Cherry Infused Bourbon
crushed ice
blood orange slices for garnish
Place sugar cube in bottom of a low ball glass. Add bitters to sugar, a dash of water to help sugar dissolve, and orange slice. Muddle these ingredients together. Add ice to fill glass. Add cherry bourbon and stir gently. Garnish with orange slice.
As a true classic in the best sense, with strong ties to Wisconsin, we thought this a great signature drink for you, Matt. This new version, while just as strong, is extra tasty due to the black cherry flavors in the bourbon and has a subtle nod to your medical interests and school allegiance. We hope you drink one today!
Cheers!

I'm honored! Can't wait to try it!! Until then, have a couple for me.
so this would be good for gout, right? I think you meant mud orange instead of blood orange didn't you? Sol doesn't like blood oranges, but I understand he's really big on mud oranges.
This sounds so healthy, I think I'll have to give it a shot.
Yes Fay, we often slip into Sol (and Poppy) vernacular at our house, but since he should definitely NOT drink this, we thought it safe, and less confusing to those who don't know Sol, to use the proper name for our favorite variety of orange. Please call it whatever you prefer when you try this...it'll cure what ails you!
