In honor of this very important holiday, we’re sharing our favorite recipe for the always refined, Old Fashioned.

You’ll need:

• 2 oz. of your favorite bourbon (ours is Knob Creek)

• Splash of club soda

• 1 sugar cube

• Angostura bitters

Place one sugar cube in a glass. Add three dashes of bitters and a splash of club soda. Crush with a muddler (or spoon if you ain’t that fancy) and gently swish around the glass. Add a handful of ice cubes and then pour the bourbon over the ice. Add an orange twist to garnish.
