Tips:

  • For a classic Cherry Brandy Old Fashioned, use a high-quality bourbon whiskey and a good quality cherry brandy. You can also use rye whiskey or brandy instead of bourbon, depending on your preference.
  • To make a simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely before using.
  • If you don't have any simple syrup on hand, you can use a sugar cube instead. Place the sugar cube in a glass and add a little bit of water. Muddle the sugar cube until it is dissolved.
  • To muddle the cherries, place them in a glass and use a muddler to crush them slightly. This will release their juices and flavors.
  • If you don't have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon to crush the cherries.
  • Add some ice cubes to the glass and stir to combine all of the ingredients.
  • Garnish the drink with a cherry and an orange slice.

The Cherry Brandy Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet, tart, or somewhere in between, the Cherry Brandy Old Fashioned is a drink that you are sure to enjoy.
