Preparation Steps
Muddle the Sugar
In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves completely.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with a large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes, allowing the drink to chill without diluting it too quickly.
Garnish
Take a slice of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass. Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish.
Serve
Serve the Old Fashioned with a stirrer or cocktail pick, and enjoy your classic cocktail.
