OLD FASHIONED

The invention of the drink is frequently (and probably inaccurately) credited to a bartender at the Pendennis Club, in Louisville, Kentucky, who around the turn of the 20th century reportedly made the drink for Colonel James E. Pepper, a member of the club and by some accounts a prominent bourbon distiller.

OLD-FASHIONED

Old-Fashioned image

The old-fashioned is one of the oldest mixed drinks in the cocktail canon. (Original name: whiskey cocktail, which became old-fashioned whiskey cocktail, and then just old-fashioned.) It is a stirred drink, usually built in the glass in which it is served. Both rye and bourbon are suitable base spirits. For the sweetener, purists muddle up a sugar cube with water and a couple dashes of bitters, but simple syrup works as well. Twists can be orange, lemon or both (known as "rabbit ears"). A fruited version of the drink came into vogue after Prohibition and involves the muddling of a cherry and orange slice along with the sugar. That version remains widespread, but we advocate the more elemental rendition that took hold in the late 1800s, one that allows the flavors of the whiskey to shine.

### 3 Unexpected Ways to Use Dill Weed in Your Recipes ### Use Dill as a Citrus Substitute Dill weed has a bright, citrusy, and slightly peppery taste. It can sometimes serve as a suitable replacement for both oranges and lemons, especially when making seafood or poultry-based main courses and side items. As a rule of culinary interchangeability, citrus always brightens a dish, and dill weed is a great way to mimic that effect without adding additional calories. ### Use Dill as a Herb Garnish Dill is a beautiful herb, one that makes the perfect visual accessory to just about any dish. As such, dill is often used as a garnish. The leaves of dill fronds are feathery, and they look almost fern-like. They add a gourmet touch to any dish. ### Use Dill to Make Dill Pickles Dill pickles are a classic side dish that is both tangy and crunchy. They are made by pickling cucumbers in a brine solution that contains dill weed and other spices. The result is a pickle that is wonderfully flavorful and refreshing. ### What Else Can You Do With Dill? * Add dill weed seeds to your bread, cracker, or muffin batter for an extra bit of crunch. * Add dill to your favorite vinaigrette or other homemade dressings. * Use dill as part of your next marinade. * Add dill to your next egg or tuna sandwich. * Toss dill into your next green or garden side dish. ### In a Nuts Shell Dill weed is an herb with a bright, citrusy, and slightly peppery taste. It can be used as a citrus or vinegar replacement, as a garnish, and in marinades.
