Classic Old Fashioned Recipe

An Whisky (or Whiskey) Old Fashioned is a true classic cocktail. Makes me think of a fire in the fireplace, high-back leathers chairs, and reading a thick leather-bound book.

Made with whiskey, sugar, bitters, and an orange peel (or cherry) for garnish, it’s the perfect cocktail for whiskey lovers!

INGREDIENTS

2 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey

1/4 ounce simple syrup

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Orange peel or maraschino cherry, for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour the simple syrup and bitters into a thick glass.

Add two ice cubes (or one large cube) to the glass and stir to combine.

Add bourbon or rye whiskey and stir for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute.

Garnish as desired with with orange peel or maraschino cherry.

ENJOY!
