Old Fashioned
Yield: 1 drink
This classic Old Fashioned recipe is easy to make with your favorite bourbon or rye whiskey, plus bitters, fresh orange, and a touch of sweetener. It's a timeless cocktail that's perfectly sippable all year 'round!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces good quality whiskey bourbon is my preference, but you can also use rye whiskey
- ¼ ounce simple syrup
- 2-4 good dashes not drops Angostura bitters, depending on your preference for bitter notes
- Fresh orange wheel or peel + maraschino or Luxardo cherry for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters.
- Add ice and stir vigorously for 15 seconds, to chill and dilute the cocktail.
- Place a large ice cube into a lowball glass and pour the cocktail over the fresh ice.
- To garnish: Rub an orange wheel around the rim of the glass, then plop it into the drink - or twist an orange peel over the drink to express its oils, then rub it around the rim of the glass and plop it into the drink. Add your choice of cocktail cherry, if you like a little more sweetness. Enjoy immediately.
