I was actually happy that my cocktails would be delayed estimated to ship later in the month, as this is my second consecutive year of Dry January, but then it came early, which was tempting, since the Old Fashioned is my drink. I held out though, as it's nice to have my birthday, February 2nd, as the day I return to drinking in the new year. Anyway, the cocktail was excellent. As good as any I've had anywhere. I had a double (it's been a month, lol), so I steeped it 4 minutes just to be sure, but it tasted great, and it's nice to know that I now have a quick fix to go to while I can't go to a bar, and on those days I don't want to muddle an orange and cherry, etc.
