1
Prepare the Glass
Take an old-fashioned glass (or any short tumbler) and place it on a flat surface.
2
Add Ingredients
In the glass, add 1 teaspoon of simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Muddle
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the simple syrup and bitters together to combine the flavors.
4
Add Whiskey
Pour in 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled mixture.
5
Add Ice
Add 4 ice cubes to the glass, preferably large cubes to minimize dilution.
6
Stir
Using a bar spoon, gently stir the mixture in the glass for about 20 seconds to chill and combine the drink.
7
Garnish
Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass. Finally, add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
8
Serve
Your Old Fashioned cocktail is now ready. Enjoy responsibly!
