Sarah Packard: “I’m a college girl. Two days a week – Tuesdays and Thursdays – I go to college.” Fast Eddie: “You don’t look like a college girl.” Sarah Packard: “I’m the emancipated type. Real emancipated.” Fast Eddie: “No, I didn’t mean that… whatever that means. I mean you just don’t look young enough.” Sarah Packard: “I’m not.” Fast Eddie: “So why go to college?” Sarah Packard: “Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays.” Fast Eddie: “What do you do on the other days?” Sarah Packard: “I drink.”

If you’re serious about drinking, you’ll opt for the 100 U.S. proof bond, beginners have the choice of an 80 proof to get them started.
The Recipe: Really? Were you truly expecting a recipe?!
Richard Sherman: “Miss Morris, I’m perfectly capable of fixing my own breakfast. As a matter of fact, I had a peanut butter sandwich and two whiskey sours.”
As Miss Morris, when we hear “The Seven Yea Itch” (1955), we think Whiskey Sours; and vice versa:
1½ oz Bourbon Whisky
1 oz fresh lemon juice
½ Gomme syrup
1 dash egg white
Shake with ice, strain into ice-filled old-fashioned glass and serve on the rocks … and try to keep your eyes on the drink.
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.
