Whiskey

Ice
Method
Prepare glass
- 1
Select a chilled or room-temperature old-fashioned glass (also called a rocks glass). If you prefer the glass chilled, place it briefly in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare other components, then discard the ice water before proceeding.
Build the drink
- 2
Place a large ice cube (or several regular ice cubes) into the prepared old-fashioned glass.
- 3
Pour 2 oz of Booker's Bourbon over the ice.
Garnish and serve
- 4
- 5
Cherry (optional)
If using a Luxardo or maraschino cherry, drop it into the glass as a garnish.
- 6
Serve immediately and sip slowly—Booker's is a high-proof bourbon best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube.
