1
Prepare the Glass
Take an Old Fashioned glass (also known as a rocks glass) and add the sugar cube to the bottom of the glass.
2
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters onto the sugar cube.
3
Muddle the Ingredients
Add the teaspoon of water and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube and mix it with the bitters until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
4
Pour the Whiskey
Pour in 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.
5
Add Ice
Add one large ice cube or several smaller cubes to the glass. This will help chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.
6
Garnish
Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release the oils and then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
7
Serve
Stir gently to combine and serve immediately. Enjoy your classic Old Fashioned!
