"Old Fashioned"

The Old Fashioned.  The name evokes nostalgia and the pleasures of an earlier era.  It is also one of our favorite cocktails: The Bourbon Old Fashioned:
Stir together in a rocks glass with 5 ice cubes:
3oz of your favorite bourbon
1 tsp simple syrup
2 dashed bitters
Twist a lemon peel over it and garnish with an orange peel and a good cherry.
Classic!
