Old Fashioned Cocktail Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Place a lowball glass on a flat surface.

2. 2

   Dissolve the Sugar

   Add 1 tsp of granulated sugar to the glass. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 1 tsp of water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to stir until the sugar is dissolved.

3. 3

   Add Whiskey

   Pour 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass over the sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.

4. 4

   Add Ice

   Fill the glass with 3 ice cubes. Ensure the ice is large enough to prevent rapid melting.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Express the oils from a slice of orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and gently twisting it. Drop the peel into the glass.

6. 6

   Finish with a Cherry

   Add a maraschino cherry on top as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Old Fashioned.
