1
Prepare the Glass
Place an Old Fashioned glass (or a rocks glass) on a flat surface.
2
Muddle the Sugar
Add the sugar cube to the glass. Saturate it with the Angostura bitters.
3
Muddle Together
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough space for the whiskey.
5
Pour the Whiskey
Add the bourbon or rye whiskey to the glass over the ice.
6
Stir
Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
7
Garnish
Twist the strip of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add the maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
8
Serve
Your Old Fashioned cocktail is now ready to be enjoyed. Sip and savor the flavors!
