The older I get the more sensitive I am to alcohol, so I dilute most of my drinks that are not made with a cocktail mixer. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eShake longer in the cocktail shaker with the ice, the ice melts, breaking apart and naturally dilutes your drink. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdd a splash of your favorite mixer to the Cranberry Old Fashioned, this gives more volume and dilutes the drink to your liking. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy choice is usually to add some Club soda, tonic water, sparkling water or even plain water. See mocktail info for more ideas.
