Sour-Cherry Old-Fashioned image

Sour cherries are too tart to eat raw, but go down amazingly easy when you muddle them with sugar and douse them with whiskey in this spin on a classic old fashioned.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 5m

Yield 1 cocktail.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sour cherries, stemmed and pitted
One 2-inch strip orange peel
1 sugar cube (or ½ teaspoon sugar)
2 or 3 dashes bitters
2 ounces rye or bourbon.

Steps:

  • Put the cherries, orange peel, sugar and bitters in an old-fashioned glass; crush the sugar and cherries with a muddler, spoon or anything else that will get the job done. Fill the glass with ice, add the whiskey and stir until the drink is cold, about a dozen times.

I found this cocktail to be a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred it with less simple syrup.

I've never been a fan of old fashioned cocktails, but this sour cherry version changed my mind. The sour cherries added just the right amount of tartness to balance out the sweetness of the bourbon. I'll definitely be making this again!
