Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe - QUICKEST!!

How to make an Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is true to the cocktail definition; spirits, bitters, water & sugar. Usually recipes call for a Bourbon or Rye Whiskey but today we’ve used a Hybrid Whiskey – essentially a Bourbon & Scotch blend. Personally I like the sweet spiciness from using a rye whiskey yet this is a good tweak on the classic nonetheless.

INGREDIENTS
- 60mL Bourbon Whiskey
- 10mL Sugar Syrup (2:1)
- 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

HOW TO
1. Fill a mixing glass with ice
2. Add ingredients to the mixing glass
3. Stir for 25 seconds or until adequately diluted
4. Strain over fresh ice into a double old fashioned glass
5. Garnish with a twist of orange peel

NOTES
The original recipe calls for a sugar cube, soaked in bitters and muddled before adding the ice and whiskey.

Being a bartender on wall street, i would put a chunk of sugar, 4 drops bitter, a dash of club soda, smash everything, add ice and put 2 oz of bourbon, stir the drink with a bar spoon... rub the orange peel around the rim of glass, and put the orange peel on toothpick on top of drink.

I found the old fashioned video! I like to add a dash of orange bitters occasionally takes it up a notch. Nice video!

[naturallyawesome]

Can I also include angostura orange bitter?

What’s the difference between an old fashioned and a manhattan? Genuinely curious

[KarmaKaazi]

Hey Steve, what simple syrup do you use?

[MiCoopRS]

Just a dumb question, i don't really like the sound of "Bitter" we got the stuff, have not had the pleasure of needing it yet, we love to Make Whiskey Sours, but now want to try an Old Fashion, are BITTER ? there is this Whiskey made by a company called Screwball Whiskey... they've blended it with.... Peanut Butter...and a drink they suggest, An Old Fashion... gonna try it.

Does it have to be strained? Seems unnecessary.

Was that a twist of lemon or a twist of orange?

[gianthills]

you may want to consider building it and stirring it right in the glass. If you treat it like a martini youll find the drink becomes too watery.

Wow you have come a long way from this! Lol

The old fashioned has to be the most bastardized cocktail in history. If you watch 20 videos on how to make one, you’ll see 20 different people using 20 different recipes. I never order one when I go out because I have no idea what I’ll get.

old my gosh! He used to be skinny... He's much cuter now, Steve the bear.

Get the ice correct large piece so it doesn't water down the flavor....i can tell a crappy old fashioned the second it has several ice cubes in it.
