 I’m a girly girl at heart. I have never been the type to order dark liquor.  But as of lately, I have been putting my bartending skills to the test and been experimenting with different alcohol and liqueur. An old fashion is one of America’s most aged cocktails. I’m using Jim Bean’s it balances the bitterness and sweetness of an old fashion.  I had leftover Blood orange and rosemary, and I thought what would be better to mix these two into a fabulous drink.
