Old Fashioned Cocktail
The Old Fashioned, where the smoothness of whiskey meets the depth of bitters, underscored by a touch of sweetness.
- 2 ounces Bourbon or rye whiskey
- 1 cube Sugar
- 3 dahses Angostura bitters
- 1 Orange twist
In an Old Fashioned glass, muddle the sugar cube with a few dashes of bitters and a splash of water until the sugar is dissolved. (If using simple syrup, just combine with bitters.)
Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour in the bourbon or rye whiskey.
Stir gently to combine and chill the drink.
Garnish with an orange twist and a maraschino cherry if desired.
