Old-Fashioned

Having procured maraschino cherries and with an oranges and lemon in the fridge, I'm ready to make an Old-Fashioned. This is also out of the "Classics" section. It's a pretty straight forward endeavor. Fruit into shaker with a little sugar. Muddle. I've always liked muddling. Even the word makes me smile. Add a little bourbon and some bitters. Shake and serve.
I take a sip. It's pretty good. A sweetness from the cherry and orange (not to mention the sugar). A little bite from the bourbon and bitters. My wife takes a sip and says "it tastes like whiskey." This is a final review from my wife. There is no greater crime than to taste like "whiskey." I'm not sure she's ever tasted whiskey, but there it is. I finish mine. Then I finish hers.
