an Old Fashioned Christmas martini
1 tsp. simple syrup
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
1 tsp. maraschino cherry juice, or grenadine
1 tsp. water
2 oz. Bourbon
1 Orange
This is a martini version of the classic Old Fashioned, modified for a Christmas martini. Start with a slice of orange peel. Squeeze/twist the orange peel over the martini glass to release the oils. Rub the orange peel around the rim of the glass. Toss the orange peel into a cocktail shaker. Add a few cubes worth of coarsely crushed ice. Add the bitters, simple syrup, cherry juice, water, and finally the bourbon. I prefer Four Roses bourbon for this recipe. Stir well until all ingredients are well blended and the ice has melted down some. Add the garnish of a maraschino cherry and an orange slice into the martini glass, then strain the cocktail into the martini glass.
