Instructions for Making an Old Fashioned

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.

  3. 3

    Pour the Whiskey

    Add the bourbon or rye whiskey over the ice.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then add it to the glass along with the maraschino cherry.

  5. 5

    Stir gently to combine and enjoy your classic Old Fashioned cocktail.
