So, who else enjoyed the premiere of Mad Men last night? I won’t spoil anything for those who haven’t gotten the opportunity to watch yet, but I must say I loved it! I wish every episode was 2 hours like the premiere. I’m so glad my show is back!
To celebrate, we decided to make our own swanky Mad Men-inspired cocktails. We chose Don Draper’s personal favorite, the Old Fashioned, made, of course, with his favorite Canadian Club whiskey (which incidentally made a brief cameo in last night’s episode during the birthday party scene!).
Don Draper’s “Old Fashioned” Cocktail
- 1 orange slice
- 1 maraschino cherry
- small amt of club soda
- a tsp of sugar
- a few dashes of angostura bitters
- 2.5 oz of Canadian Club whiskey
Muddle the orange slice, cherry, sugar, bitters, and club soda together to make a fruity paste. Add the whiskey and serve over rocks. Enjoy!
Linking up with the weekly Instagram link party over at a {little} dash of ash!
