New Fashion - 3 Takes on the Old Fashioned

Here is a few spins I've made on an old classic, the Old Fashioned.

Ugly Cocktail

Served: Short

Ingredients:
2 oz. Whiskey (Bourbon)
12 (apx.) Fresh Blueberries
Lemon Wedge
Club Soda

Garnish: Lemon wheel and two blueberries

Process:
Muddle Lemon Wedge and Blueberries. Add ice, Whiskey, top w/ Soda.

Notes:
For a variation try soaking Blueberries in Brandy for at least 24 hours.
