Mad Men Revival

Step back in time to the stylish era of the 1960s with this unique Old Fashioned inspired by the hit TV series, Mad Men. This cocktail features a modern twist on the classic recipe, combining the rich flavors of whiskey with a hint of smokiness and a touch of sweetness. Ingredients: - 2 oz bourbon whiskey (preferably a high-quality, aged bourbon) - 1/4 oz mezcal (to add a smoky complexity) - 1/2 oz maple syrup (for a hint of sweetness) - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Orange peel, for garnish - Luxardo cherry, for garnish Instructions: 1. Start by chilling an Old Fashioned glass with ice cubes, allowing it to sit while you prepare the cocktail. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, mezcal, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters. 3. Add ice to the mixing glass and stir gently for about 20-30 seconds, allowing the flavors to combine and the drink to chill. 4. Discard the ice from the chilling Old Fashioned glass and strain the cocktail into it. 5. Take a fresh orange peel and express the oils over the drink by gently squeezing it, then rub the peel around the rim of the glass for added aroma. 6. Garnish the cocktail with a Luxardo cherry, allowing it to sink into the drink. 7. Serve the "Mad Men Revival" with a few ice cubes on the side, allowing the drinker to adjust
