Some folks say nothing rhymes with “orange,” but they're wrong — ever heard of a “sporange?” You have now; it’s a fancy old name for the spore-making part of a fern.

Some folks also think there’s nothing new to be done with the almost-two-centuries-old traditional Old Fashioned recipe, but they’re wrong about that, too. Case in point: Orange Proof Syrup, which takes the orangey bits of the classic Old Fashioned and kicks them up a few notches with real orange bitters and proprietary Proof Syrup magic. It’s new, familiar, and insanely good at the same time.
