It's 5:00 in Independence which means it's time to celebrate National Bourbon Day. Or maybe you celebrated this morning, Harry reportedly had a sip of bourbon in the morning before breakfast. That’ll wake you up! The Truman’s cocktail of choice was an Old Fashioned. Upon moving into the White House, Bess was less than satisfied with the drinks being prepared. She tried several times to hint to the butler that his Old Fashioned were not really Old Fashioned. Finally in desperation, the butler simply sloshed huge amounts of bourbon over ice — no sugar, no bitters, and definitely no garnish — and served them what amounted to bourbon on the rocks. Mrs. Truman was delighted, reportedly saying, “Now that’s an Old-Fashioned."
