The Old Groaner is a classic cocktail that is sure to please any whiskey lover. Made with a smooth bourbon or rye whiskey, this drink is perfect for sipping on a cozy evening.
To make an Old Groaner, start by filling a glass with ice. Add the whiskey of your choice, about 2 ounces. Then, pour in a splash of vermouth - sweet or dry, depending on your preference.

Next, add a couple dashes of Angostura bitters to give the Old Groaner a subtle depth of flavor. To finish off the cocktail, give it a quick stir with a cocktail spoon or a long spoon handle. This will help to blend the ingredients together and chill the drink.
Once everything is mixed, strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. Garnish with a cherry or a twist of lemon peel for an extra touch of sophistication.
