Old Fashioned Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Take a rocks glass (or an old fashioned glass) and place it on a flat surface.

2. 2

   Muddle the Sugar Cube

   Place the sugar cube in the glass. Add 1 teaspoon of water and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the cube.

3. 3

   Muddle Together

   Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, crush the sugar cube and mix it with the bitters and water until it is dissolved.

4. 4

   Add Bourbon

   Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the glass over the muddled sugar mixture.

5. 5

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, preferably one large cube, to chill the drink without watering it down too quickly.

6. 6

   Garnish

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

7. 7

   Serve

   Stir gently to combine the flavors, then enjoy your classic Old Fashioned.
