Week 14 Challenge Update: Old Fashioned

Day 4 is the Old Fashioned.  Our trusty app says "the old fashioned may be the first drink to be called a cocktail.  It's also the drink of choice for Don Draper, who can mix the clubby cocktail without breaking a sweat."  The recipe is:
*2 oz bourbon
*2 dashes bitters
*1 splash water
*1 tsp sugar
*1 cherry
*1 orange slice
Select rocks glass and add sugar, water splash, bitters, cherry garnish, and orange slice.  Muddle, and pour bourbon.  Add ice cubes and stir.

I really, really wanted to like this and make it my new favorite cocktail like Don Draper.  Alas, I did not enjoy it any more than the other cocktails.  I realize now that I either have to drink a sweet cocktail, Moscato wine, or Bud Light, or I don't like it.  So much for trying to broaden my horizons!
