Old-Fashioned Cocktail

Method

Old-Fashioned Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass and sugar

    Chill an old-fashioned (rocks) glass by filling with ice and setting aside while you assemble the cocktail. If using a chilled glass technique, you may skip the ice later. Measure demerara simple syrup (0.25 oz).

  2. 2

    Add bitters and syrup

    Discard the ice used to chill the glass (if chilled that way). Add the measured demerara syrup into the glass. Add 3 dashes of Angostura bitters and 1 dash of orange bitters on top of the syrup.

  3. 3

    Combine bourbon

    Pour 2 oz of bourbon (E.H. Taylor or similar) into the glass over the syrup and bitters.

  4. 4

    Stir and dilute

    Add one large ice cube (or enough ice to almost fill the glass). Stir gently but thoroughly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 rotations with a bar spoon) until the drink is visibly chilled and slightly diluted (roughly 15–20% dilution).

  5. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Express the oils of an orange peel over the surface of the cocktail by holding the peel skin-side down over the glass and giving it a quick squeeze; then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink. Optionally, add a Luxardo or brandied cherry on a cocktail pick. Serve immediately.
