It is here, the revival of Scrubs. In this reboot, JD and Turk scrub in together after a long break. Medicine and interns have evolved, but their friendship remains strong. New and familiar faces at Sacred Heart bring laughs, emotion, and unexpected moments.

Scrubs Old Fashioned (Gnome's Tavern):

Ingredients

• 1 oz rum
• 1 oz calvados
• 3 spoonful maple syrup
• 2 dashes chocolate bitters
• scotch rinse
• orange peel

Directions

1. 1. Rinse the Glass with Scotch. Pour a small splash of scotch into your rocks glass. Swirl it around so the inside of the glass gets coated. Dump out the excess scotch. This leaves behind a smoky aroma without overpowering the drink.
2. Fill a mixing glass or shaker tin about halfway with ice.
3. Add the rum, calvados, maple syrup and chocolate bitters into the mixing glass.
4. Stir for about 20–30 seconds. You want the drink chilled and slightly diluted, like a traditional old fashioned.
5. Add one large ice cube (or a few regular cubes) to your scotch-rinsed rocks glass.
6. Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over the ice. If you don’t have a strainer, you can carefully pour it straight in.
7. Garnish, express an orange peel over the drink.
