Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by selecting a lowball or rocks glass. If desired, chill the glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Sugar

    In the bottom of the prepared glass, place the sugar cube. Add the dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the sugar cube.

  3. 3

    Add Whiskey

    Pour the bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters. Use a bar spoon to stir gently until the sugar has dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Add the ice cubes to the glass. You can use one large ice cube or several smaller ones depending on your preference.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Finally, add the maraschino cherry for a classic touch.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Your Old Fashioned is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately and savor the flavors.
