This classic old fashioned cocktail is perfect for poker night with the guys. The only thing missing is a cigar!
I love to mix up different fruity cocktails, but this one is for the guys. Just as simple as it can be, the classic old fashioned takes just three ingredients {minus the ice and garnish}.
Why not surprise your man with a round of old fashioned’s for him and the guys on their next poker night? Then, you can slip on over to a friend’s house for girl’s night in. With cocktail and cigar in hand, he won’t be complaining about how late you stay out 😉

A cigar and an old fashioned are a winning combination even if It’s not poker night. I like mine made with Wild Turkey, but any good bourbon will do. Keep up the great work Rachel!
