Description

The Old Fashioned cocktail is a timeless classic that’s simple to make yet full of flavor. With a perfect balance of whiskey, sugar, and bitters, it’s a go-to cocktail for whiskey enthusiasts.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
  • 1 sugar cube (or 1/2 teaspoon sugar)
  • 23 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Few dashes plain water
  • Large ice cube
  • Orange peel for garnish
  • Maraschino cherry for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the sugar cube: In an old fashioned glass and add the bitters and a few dashes of water. Muddle until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Fill the glass: With a large ice cube. Pour the whiskey over the ice and stir gently to combine.
  3. Express the orange peel: Over the glass by holding it over the drink and giving it a good twist to release the oils, then drop it into the glass.
  4. Garnish: With a maraschino cherry if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Try experimenting with different bitters like orange or chocolate for a unique twist.
  • For a slightly sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup instead of a sugar cube.
