We’ve gotten all heretical and combined the flavors of an Old Fashioned cocktail with ice cream to make a shake. It’s not too sweet, with lots of bourbon and orange zest coming through, and a few bits of cherries. In other words, it’s not kid-friendly.
What to buy: Luxardo maraschino cherries work best in this recipe, but if you can’t find them, use any quality brand, such as Tillen Farms. Or you could make your own!
