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