This is my take on the Old Fashioned. Tweaked to my own tastes.

1oz simple syrup

2oz J.T.S Brown Bottled in Bond 100 proof

3-5 cocktail cherries + a healthy dose of cherry syrup from the jar

Juice from 1-2 lime slices

1 slice lime, unsqueezed (this will be squeezed into the next glass)

1-3 dashes orange Angostura Bitters

Crushed ice

Delicious. I'm always looking for new whiskeys/bourbons. Larceny was the first bourbon I really liked. J.T.S. Brown is very similar for about 10 bucks less.

Edited to fix formatting. Welcome to my first ever Lemmy post, I guess lol

Cheers! Thanks for the tip, I like Larceny so I'll keep an eye out for the Brown!

Cheers! The Brown isn't quite as good to sip neat as the Larceny is but in a cocktail, I can't tell the difference between them.

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
