1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lowball or rocks glass and place it in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of bourbon, 0.5 oz of rye whiskey, 1 tsp of demerara sugar, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Muddle the Mixture
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar fully with the bitters and whiskey.
4
Add Ice and Stir
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain into Glass
Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the mixture into the glass over fresh ice cubes.
6
Garnish
Take a piece of orange peel and express the oils over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Drop the peel into the drink as a garnish.
7
Serve
Your Old Fashioned cocktail is now ready to be enjoyed. Sip slowly and savor the flavors.
