Love this presentation of the Bloody Mary for a great Halloween cocktail. The eyeball is a cherry pepper with a pearl onion just for a “scary” garnish!

The original Old Fashioned recipe would have used whiskeys available in America in the late 1800’s, either Bourbon or Rye Whiskey. The first recipe is from 1895. But in some regions, especially Wisconsin, brandy is substituted for whiskey (sometimes called a Brandy Old Fashioned). Eventually the use of other spirits became common, such as a gin recipe becoming popularized in the late 1940s. The first mention of the drink was for a Bourbon whiskey cocktail in the 1880s, at the Pendennis Club, a gentlemen’s club in Louisville, Kentucky.
Common garnishes for an Old Fashioned include an orange slice or a maraschino cherry, although these modifications came around 1930, sometime after the original recipe was invented. The practice of muddling orange and other fruit gained prevalence as late as the 1990s. In muddling the fruit make sure to muddle the fruit but try not to muddle the peel too much. You want to release the oils and fruit flavor but not a lot of the acid. As with spirit only drinks what whiskey/brandy you make this drink with matters. The fun is in trying to find which one you really like!
If you like nuts this is an awesome cocktail for you. A bit on the sweet side it is the perfect ending to a nice dinner or a stay at home nightcap.

A great cold weather drink, the Nutty Irishman, we think ski lodge good, sitting before a roaring fire with a great book and your feet propped up. Rich and decadent a perfect guilty pleasure.
A wonderfully scary cocktail for halloween where the garnish is an olive stuffed into a pepper to make a mock eyeball! So fun and so is the cocktail.
The perfect start to fall, the Newton’s Fall. The green apples and cinnamon simple syrup make it a cocktail that will keep guests asking for more. Works up well as a punch!
