Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add the Angostura bitters and the teaspoon of water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves in the bitters and water.

  2. 2

    Add the Whiskey

    Pour the bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled sugar mixture in the glass.

  3. 3

    Stir the Cocktail

    Add ice to the glass, then gently stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients. The goal is to chill the drink without diluting it too much.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Then drop the peel into the drink as garnish. Finally, add the maraschino cherry on top for decoration.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Old Fashioned immediately with a cocktail stirrer or a straw for easy sipping.
