I make a "freezer door Old Fashioned" by taking a bottle of what I like (Currently drinking a small batch local distillery called Wiggly Bridge), pouring out 6 oz, adding in 4 oz of simple syrup, 1oz Angostura bitters, 1/2 oz Orange bitters.

Pour over a large Ice cube, add 2 Luxardo cherries, and enjoy!

Fair enough. But I was not counting garnish. The cherries would be an addition to pre mix as well.

Muddled cherries and orange peel is a must. 5!!

This is about the simplest cocktail. No mix needed. Muddle an orange slice. Put a sugar cube in the glass. Two or three dashes of bitters. Add whisky.

(Cherries optional, but I save them for Manhattans.)
