Old-Fashioned Cocktail. Here’s To Don Draper.

Tonight is the midseason finale of the final season of Mad Men. So, if you are as huge a fan as I am, this is a night to look forward to.

To celebrate, what could be more appropriate than Don Draper’s favorite drink, the Old Fashioned Cocktail?

Just muddle some sugar with bitters and fruit and mix in some bourbon (or brandy if you like). It’s a smooth, retro drink that is perfect for high end soap opera sipping.
