There's a scene in So I Married an Axe-Murderer where Rose, the axe-murderer, asks Charlie, "What would you say to silver dollar pancakes, fresh squeezed orange juice, bacon, and Kona coffee?" After Charlie accepts, the camera cuts to him eating cold cereal and Rose says "Sorry, I didn't have those other things." That's how I felt when I went to make a old fashioned and had no oranges or cherries. Even the grapefruit I had was moldy when I cut into it. Turns out Cointreau and Heering aren't the worst substitutes.
Pantry Old Fashioned
2 oz. bourbon
1 tsp. Cointreau
1 tsp. Cherry Heering
2 dashes Angostura bitters
