Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an Old Fashioned glass, add the sugar cube and douse it with the Angostura bitters. Muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey

    Pour the bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters in the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add the ice cubes to the glass. A large ice cube or sphere is recommended to slow dilution.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add the maraschino cherry on top for garnish.

  5. 5

    Stir and Serve

    Gently stir the drink to combine the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Old Fashioned.
