Method 1 of 2: Making a classic Old Fashioned cocktail

1. Try a variety of citrus garnishes or add cherries to your cocktail. Orange is the traditional garnish, but maraschino cherries are a popular and tasty alternative! Put one or more cherries in the whiskey glass before serving the drink.
   • For a fruity variation, put an orange slice or wedge in the glass with the cherries.
   • For a slightly different flavor, try lemon or lime zest instead of the traditional orange zest.
