The Old Fashioned Gender F***
Hi, Mom.
So a real old fashioned involves club soda. But sometimes you don't have club soda, so you try it out with some Fresca instead and discover something amazing. Bourbon is so very masculine, and Fresca so very not. Hence the name.
In a wineglass, drop
1 sugar cube
several dashes of bitters (be generous)
Muddle carefully. (This is, after all, a wine glass.)
Add 2 ice cubes
2 maraschino cherries
1 mandarin orange slice
Half a glass Fresca, poured gently
1.5 ounces good strong bourbon
Finish with Fresca to 3/4 full
Like velvet. Gender ambiguous velvet.
