1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by selecting an Old Fashioned glass. This is typically a short, round glass that is perfect for serving cocktails.
2
Add Sugar and Bitters
Place 1 teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of the glass. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 1 dash of orange bitters over the sugar.
3
Muddle the Mixture
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the sugar and bitters together. This helps to dissolve the sugar and release the flavors of the bitters.
4
Add Ice Cubes
Fill the glass with 3 ice cubes. This will chill the drink while also slowly diluting it as you enjoy your cocktail.
5
Pour the Bourbon
Measure out 2 ounces of Evan Williams Bourbon and pour it over the ice and muddled mixture in the glass.
6
Stir the Cocktail
Using a bar spoon or a regular spoon, gently stir the cocktail to combine the ingredients. This ensures the sugar is fully dissolved and the drink is well mixed.
7
Garnish with Orange Peel
Take a slice of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
8
Serve and Enjoy
Your Old Fashioned is now ready to be enjoyed. Sip slowly and appreciate the rich flavors of the bourbon and bitters.
