Had two Old fashioned’s at Mr. Vee’s in La Mirada. It’s a restauant with an “old school” bar/lounge ( dark wood and leather booths). I think that the old fashions are up to John-O’s standards if I could be a little presumptuous. I overheard the barkeep talking mention Mai Tai’s so I asked him how he made them? His answer included pineapple juice, oj, and grenadine.I’ll stick to the old fashion’s. Btw, my wife had a lemon drop which she said was almost as good as the ones she’s had at the nearby Sharkbite bar.
Cheers
It really is amazing how hard it is to get a good "Old Fashioned", David
such a simple cocktail, yet it really needs to be prepared properly
You would be surprised how many bartenders add 7up or soda water to it (ratio of 1/3 to one half of the cocktail, even)
I have sent back many of these abominations in a glass.
