Old Fashioned Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Place a sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass (a short, round glass).

2. 2

   Muddle the Sugar

   Add 1 teaspoon of water over the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves.

3. 3

   Add the Bourbon

   Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar mixture.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with a large ice cube or several smaller cubes. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it in the glass as a garnish. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for additional flavor.
