David A. Embury - Old Fashioned ("Six Basic Cocktails") lyrics

12 parts American whiskey 1 part simple syrup 1-3 dashes Angostura bitters to each drink In an old-fashioned gla**, add bitters to simple syrup and stir. Add about 1 ounce of whiskey and stir again. Add two cubes of cracked, but not crushed, ice and top off with the rest of the whiskey. Twist lemon peel over the top and serve garnished with the lemon peel and a maraschino cherry.
