Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cocktail Glass

    Start by chilling your cocktail glass. You can either place it in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1 tsp of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Stir with Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (3 pieces) and stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from your chilled cocktail glass (if you used it) and strain the mixed drink into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils from a slice of orange peel over the drink, then drop the peel into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Your Old Fashioned is now ready to be served. Enjoy your classic cocktail!
