Method

Prepare the Cocktail

  1. 1

    Muddle the base

    In a rocks glass, add the sugar cube, orange slice, maraschino cherry, and 3 dashes of Angostura bitters. Muddle gently until the sugar is dissolved and the fruit releases its juices, forming a flavorful base.

  2. 2

    Add bourbon and ice

    Pour 2 oz of Buffalo Trace Bourbon into the glass. Add one large ice cube to chill the drink without diluting it quickly.

  3. 3

    Stir to combine

    Stir the mixture slowly for about 20-30 seconds to combine the flavors and chill the drink evenly.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 4

    Add garnish

    Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a good twist. Drop the peel into the glass and add a maraschino cherry for garnish.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Old Fashioned immediately while cold. Enjoy responsibly.
