Old Fashioned Cocktail

Method

Old Fashioned Cocktail

  1. 1

    Muddle and dissolve

    In a lowball glass, place the sugar cube and saturate with Angostura bitters. Muddle until the sugar dissolves into a syrup.

  2. 2

    Add bourbon or rye whiskey to the glass and stir gently to combine with the bitters-sugar base.

  3. 3

    Add a large ice cube and stir until well chilled and slightly diluted, about 20-30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by giving it a quick twist, then rim the glass with the peel and drop it into the drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish with a Luxardo cherry.
