Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    Place the sugar cube at the bottom of an old-fashioned glass. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, crush the sugar cube with the bitters until it’s dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey

    Pour 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey into the glass over the muddled sugar and bitters mixture.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Add 4 ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Use a vegetable peeler to slice a strip of orange peel. Twist the peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry for garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Enjoy your Old Fashioned cocktail straight away. Sip and savor!
