This is a regular Old Fashion, but with a twist! Instead of a regular orange and a regular bright red cherry, I'm using a blood orange and a black Luxendo maraschino cherry. Sooooo GOOD!!! If you have any brandy cherries on hand I think that would be a great choice too.
Put 1 cube, 2 or 3 dashes of the bitters, and a splash of water. Use the muddler to mash them gently but thoroughly in the bottom of the glass until the sugar is dissolved.
Fill the glasses with ice. Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into each glass.
Garnish with a cherry and fresh orange peel.
*If you don't have a muddler (I don't), use a blunt object that you can safely mash things in the bottom of your glass. I use the end of my french rolling pin. If you don't have a muddler, get creative but be safe!
