Blood Orange Old Fashioned

Ingredients:

2 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon sugar
few dashes bitters
1 blood orange, half for the juice and the other half cut into wedges for serving
2-3 good maraschino cherries
ice cubes

Directions:

In a whiskey glass, muddle together a few drops of bitters with the teaspoon of sugar. Add a splash of blood orange juice and muddle to combine. Top with bourbon and ice. Add cherries and stir to combine. Allow to sit a few minutes to allow the flavors mellow before drinking. Cheers! Enjoy the wonderful fall weekend!
