Old Fashioned Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Old Fashioned Cocktail Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling an old fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Muddle Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add the demerara sugar and the water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Then add the Angostura bitters and Regans' orange bitters.

  3. 3

    Add the Whiskey

    Pour in the Sazerac Rye Whiskey into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Add 2-3 ice cubes to the mixing glass and stir gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass Again

    Empty the ice water from the old fashioned glass and strain the chilled mixture from the mixing glass into the prepared glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils, then place it on the rim of the glass as a garnish.
