Why so funny? Small mixed drink straws and orange pup do not mix. It was very annoying...

I have no idea if you're joking or not, but I'll play along and say . . . you don't used the small mixed drink straw to actually drink the Old Fashioned.

In all honesty, I do find that absolutely amazing. Now, admittedly, I kind of grew up around cocktail culture. Just meaning that friends and family drank cocktails of all types.

I grew up with an ultra-religious mother who told me drinking any alcohol would send me into a drunken haze of addiction.

So I learned about alcohol in college with Jack and Coke and cheap beer. Got married to a classy girl who taught me about wine.

Now F&DB is teaching me gentlemen's drinks.

Yeah that straw is for stirring, not for drinking.

Try making your own at home. Play with the ingredients a bit until you get it the way you like it. Some have already been posted, here's mine:

1. In old fashioned glass, muddle one slice of orange (I'll also use blood orange or satsuma in season), 2 cherries, and a sugar cube (or simple syrup).

2. Fill glass with ice, and add 3-4 dashes of bitters.

3. Add bourbon, give a slight stir.

I tried this past weekend making one for the first time at my uncle's lakehouse. Only problem was that I used what I thought was sugar, but was actually salt
