Default The Cocktail Thread- Shaken or Stirred?

I know that most folks here enjoy their cigars with wine, whiskey, or beer, but a good cocktail can make for a great cigar pairing as well.
I'll start off with my go-to favorite, the mother of all cocktails, the Old Fashioned:
Muddle one sugar cube, four dashes of Angostura bitters, and a tablespoon of club soda in a glass.
Add 3oz of (preferably 100 proof) Bourbon or Rye.
Fill a second glass with ice.
Twist a small orange slice in the second glass and add a dash of Club Soda.
Pour the contents of the first glass into the second glass.
Stir, add a Maraschino Cherry for garnish. (the cherry is optional, but some prefer it)
Drink, enjoy, and repeat.
The recipe for a "proper" Old Fashioned is a contentious issue in mixology circles. This is the formula that I happen to like best.
