Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe

Old Fashioned cocktail over ice with an orange twist

The Old Fashioned is the original cocktail. Whiskey, a touch of sugar, a couple of dashes of bitters and a twist of orange. Simple done well.

Ingredients

  • Bourbon or rye whiskey - 60ml (2 Squeezes)
  • Sugar syrup - 10ml
  • Angostura bitters - 2 dashes
  • Orange peel to garnish

Method

  1. Add the sugar syrup and bitters to a glass.
  2. Pour in the whiskey.
  3. Fill with ice and stir with a cocktail spoon until cold.
  4. Twist a strip of orange peel over the top and drop it in.

Squeeze Tip

Stir, do not shake. Build it in the glass and take your time. That slow melt of the ice is what turns whiskey into an Old Fashioned.
