Drink Recipe: “Old-Fashioned”

Related to Dillinger because:

  • Manhattan cocktails were popular in Dillinger’s day… and Old-Fashioneds are simply Manhattans with sugar and bitters added
  • Also, Dillinger is from the past and so himself is “Old Fashioned”

Recipe, as prepared at Los Angeles’ Dresden Room:

In rocks glass, add:

  • Less than ½ tsp bitters
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Splash of club soda

Dilute with spoon.
Cover with ice.
Fill remainder of glass with bourbon.

Note: Violent disagreement as to whether club soda should ever be added to an Old-Fashioned.
