This is why there's Bourbon

OK, so this is simple again - like a Martini: Sweet Vermouth, Bourbon (just my way - Canadian or other whiskies lay as strong a claim and Angostura Bitters

The ratio of the two things is not fixed. but 5 parts Bourbon, 1 part Sweet Vermouth and a splash of Bitters

Directions

Put your Martini Glass in the freezer for an hour

Pour 1 part cold (from the fridge) Vermouth in the glass and add 5 parts Bourbon from a cocktail shaker with ice.

The classic garnish is a Maraschino Cherry, I like a twist of orange zest

Spanish

Spanish has three nationalities: British, Irish and Australian due to a series of accidents. Spanish is not one of them,

Mark was born in Australia in 1966 and has lived on a damp, cold island off the coast of France (the locals call it "Blighty") since 1970. Educated in the State School System (proudly), his teachers unanimously agreed he had raised indolence and mediocrity to world-class levels.

In sport, he excelled at outrunning the bigger kids to avoid a regular hiding. These traits have seen him through several aimless career changes and now, in his 50s, he finds himself wondering what he will do when he grows up.

But, he loves his family and he can cook a bit.
