Medicated Old-Fashioned
Very Don Draper of me, but Old-Fashioneds were my go-to cocktails during my former advertising days. This cocktail is old as heck! Fun fact--the recipe for an Old-Fashioned dates back to the early 1800's!
I'll still indulge in a glass every once in awhile especially during the cooler months. Try it with a dash of medicated orange bitters for a great night cap!
