The Dahlia Old Fashioned
![Dahlia Cocktail Bar DTLA: Old Fashioned Cocktail (0624) Dahlia Old Fashioned](https://www.sunset.com/wp-content/uploads/dahlia-cocktail-bar-dtla-old-fashioned-cocktail-pr-0624-900x500.jpg)
The iconic cocktail is ennobled by well-sourced ingredients and expert technique. At Dahlia, the bartenders cold-smoke premium maraschino cherries three times using a bar smoker. You can skip this step, but it makes a subtle and delightful difference at Dahlia.
How to Make It
In a glass pitcher or shaker filled with ice, combine liquid ingredients and stir 20 times with a spoon or cocktail stirrer. Strain into a lowball glass filled with a single large ice cube.
Squeeze citrus peel, skin side down, to express the oils directly into the drink.
Garnish with citrus peel and two smoked cherries: one in the drink as a boozy dessert, and then one on a cocktail spear!
