How does it get ice cold just from stirring it? lol

I assume he means in a shaker with ice.

Inspired me to make an old fashioned but with maple syrup instead. Delicious even though I didn’t quite get to 75 stirs.

Stirred, not shaken.
Haven't decided yet, need to use up some citrus. Maybe a Gimlet or a Daiquiri will hit the spot!
Scratch that, I'm making one of those. Just was thinking today that I need to make use of the allspice dram I made a few months back.

Years ago there was a poker podcast of 2 British dudes playing STT online an podcasting them called PokerDiagram...they were among the first to 'stream' poker.....it was recorded 'as live' and then published...they were very funny and some of the shows still exist on archive.org.

By changing the '31' to about '09' to '39' you can still hear some of them......
(If anyone has copies of the non-existant ones I would love to hear them again....)
Anyway......
Their homemade concoction was called a Rum Lola....
Rum Lola (Rum)
The Rum Lola was first conceived following an evening at the pictures during which myself and my companions viewed Tom Tykwer's movie "Lola Rennt", released in the UK as "Run Lola Run".
Struck by the lead character's hair, a shade of red which I had been toying with trying myself, and in need of refreshment, we set about creating a drink of equally appealing hue. After some experimentation, the Rum Lola was born.
This drink may seem to have more ingredients than should be required for a beautifully simple cocktail, but I think the rather unique and coherent taste of this drink overcomes objections to its complexity.
Ingredients
Shake and serve in a chilled cocktail glass.

Love Manhattans with wheaters. I recommend Carpano Antica vermouth, though it is a tad sweeter.
That’s what I was looking for ... the local store was out.

At least you got the proper Maraschino cherries!
Yes, can’t stand those bright red ones. The Luxardos are delicious.

I think it's an old fashioned kind of night. Hopefully our local store has what i need.
so, what do i need (i have the bourbon covered)
so, what do i need (i have the bourbon covered)
My recipe is:
One sugar cube in glass, add 2-3 luxardos and a slice of orange, add 2-4 dashes of orange bitters. Muddle the mixture. Add ice. Add 2.0 measures of bourbon or rye. Stir, drink. Repeat as needed
Obviously, the sugar cube is the traditional way to make an old fashioned.
However, here’s my recipe:
Get Demerara sugar, make a simple syrup. I actually make mine 1.5:1 sugar:water.
Peel a strip of orange zest. Pinch and rub on the inside of glass
1 teaspoon (maybe a touch more) Demerara syrup
3 dashes angostura bitters
Add ice, fill with rye (my preference) or bourbon.
Stir, garnish, and enjoy.

A whole slice of orange? Squeeze any of the juice into the glass. I think I like the lack of simple syrup. I'm not a sweets kind of guy.
It’s all personal preference. Half to whole slice of orange, thinly cut, works. Muddling should take care of releasing the flavor and juices. I usually muddle one cherry with the mixture and then garnish with a couple more. But I love those luxardo cherries.
