Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Select Your Glass

    Choose a short, heavy-bottomed glass (an Old Fashioned glass or rocks glass) to enhance the drinking experience.

  2. 2

    Add Ice

    Place a large ice cube into the glass. This will help chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Add Bourbon

    Pour 2 oz of Four Roses Bourbon over the large ice cube in the glass.

  2. 4

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters on top of the bourbon. This will provide a depth of flavor to the cocktail.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Express Orange Peel

    Take a strip of orange peel and hold it over the drink with the outer side facing down. Gently twist the peel to release the essential oils into the drink.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Drop the orange peel into the glass as a garnish. Optionally, you can also run the peel around the rim of the glass for added aroma.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the Vintage Old Fashioned immediately. Sip and enjoy the classic flavors!
