Old Fashioned

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz. bourbon whiskey
sugar cube or 1 teaspoon of sugar
2 dashes of bitters
dash of water or soda water
prepare on ice in rocks glass or old fashioned glass
garnish with cherry

This is a unique cocktail and its taste will most likely need to be acquired as it is different than drinking straight whiskey on the rocks. I can't really describe the taste as a whole but you can definitely taste the bitters and sugar. Overall a great and fancy drink for conversing.
