Even the Old Fashioned is getting a makeover this Christmas. Many purists believe that you should not garnish an Old Fashioned but what the heck, it’s Christmas!

To add a little holiday spirit, garnish with an orange and lemon slice and a maraschino cherry, and throw in a lemon twist just for good measure.
