The Birth of an Old Fashioned

🍊 Runner-Up for 52F: Macro Theme

Macro photography is one of my favorite genres—it invites you to slow down and savor the details, much like a good cocktail. This week’s runner-up shot captures the beginning of my Old Fashioned ritual: a sugar cube soaking up bitters before the muddle. From there, it’s one shot of bourbon, a bit of ice, then the second pour. I finish it off with an orange garnish and a Luxardo cherry. If I’m feeling fancy, I swap the cube for a Demerara simple syrup—rich, warm, and just a little indulgent.

A flavorful drink, distilled down to one sweet little cube.
