I prefer my fruit "muddled" in my Old Fashioneds. Newer bartenders will make that drink with club soda, rather than water so make sure to specify which way you want it.

Muddle 1/2 tsp sugar and a coupla dashes of Angostura Bitters in the bottom of an 8 oz. glass.
Add 2 oz. Bourbon.
Add 3 ice cubes.
Fill with sparkling water.
Garnish w/ marischino cherry & orange slice.
Serve w/ swizzle stick.
Enjoy.
I do too...a tiny dash of Marischino juice with a twist of orange rind. Though I find the fizz water helps to float away the cares of the day.Tipsy McStagger wrote: I prefer my fruit "muddled" in my Old Fashioneds.
