Made a Costco run this morning and got the Costco sized Makers Mark. I decided to try a slight variation of the Makers Mark Old-Fashioned:
Slice of orange, 2 maraschino cherries, tablespoon of sugar. Muddle well. Add a few ice cubes. Three dashes of bitters, 1.5oz Makers Mark, splash of tonic water. Stir and top with additional orange slice and cherry. Mmmm good. I'm on my third one and enjoyed the first two along with a Hoyo de Monterey Excalbur. All in all a fine afternoon. I should have been wearing a suit and my Fedora though.
My niece came up with her own drink that was pretty darn good too. 5oz Belvedere, 1oz Amaretto, 1oz Kahlua in a martini glass. Add a maraschino cherry and call it a day (her explanation of the recipe).
