Pickled Cherry Old Fashioned
In the bottom of a cocktail shaker muddle 1 tablespoon sugar, 3 dashes of bitters, 1-2 pickled cherries (recipe below) and a slice of orange. Pour in a shot or two of bourbon, a few cubes of ice, and shake what yo’ mama gave you. Pour into a chilled glass and top with soda. Garnish with a pickled cherry and an orange.

2 tablespoons pickling spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine all ingredients in an airtight container and refrigerate for a couple hours and up to a month. They make cocktails happy!
