The Fashioned Gentleman Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Begin by chilling your preferred whiskey glass by filling it with ice water. Let it sit while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Muddle the Orange

   Take the fresh orange and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a mixing glass. Use the other half for garnish. Optionally, you can muddle the squeezed half in the mixing glass to enhance the flavor.

3. 3

   Add the Bitters

   Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 2 dashes of black walnut bitters to the mixing glass with the orange juice.

4. 4

   Pour the Bourbon

   Measure 2 oz of Old Forester bourbon and pour it into the mixing glass over the orange juice and bitters mixture.

5. 5

   Add Ice

   Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes, about 1 cup, to chill the drink.

6. 6

   Stir

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to ensure that it is well chilled and diluted slightly.

7. 7

   Strain and Serve

   Empty the ice water from your chilled whiskey glass. Use a strainer to pour the mixed drink into the glass, ensuring no ice passes through.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Take the remaining half orange and cut a twist for garnish. Place the twist on the rim of the glass or drop it into the drink for added aroma.
