SHAKEN OLD-FASHIONED

My husband and I love Old Fashioneds, but we could never get them just right at home. The sugar never dissolved enough for my tastes. My husband came up with the idea of adding all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker to get everything truly mixed together and we've never looked back!

*Traditional Old Fashioneds are made with a sugar cube, but you can easily use granulated sugar instead. One cube contains about 1 teaspoon of sugar, so substitute 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar for the two cubes!
