Not often do we get our recipe instructions acted out by the likes of Ryan Gosling (no, Photo-Shop work was not required) as in ”Crazy, Stupid, Love” (2011); but here it is: the Old Fashioned:

• 1 ½ oz Bourbon or Rye whiskey
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 Sugar cube
• A few dashes plain water

Place sugar cube in old-fashioned glass and saturate with bitters, add a dash of plain water. Muddle until dissolved, fill the glass with ice cubes and add whiskey. Garnish with orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
