The Best Old Fashioned Recipe

The Old Fashioned is a serious cocktail and it is one you really should know how to make at home. When made well, the Old Fashioned cocktail is strong, but not overly so. There’s sweetness, but it isn’t cloying or excessive. Most commonly, bourbon or rye whiskey are used. That doesn’t mean to say that there aren’t other options. Gin, brandy and rum all work really well. We particularly love switching the whiskey for a dark, aged rum.

I like the flame trick. I prefer old fashioned method, 1 brown sugar cube, bitters, muddled sugar, bitters and some bourbon. Add ice and stir. I find that lemon and orange peels together make it great. Clear ice, I prefer small cooler with filtered water in freezer for 48 hours. This makes clear ice block to carve ice balls. Craft ice is key. Get fresh cherries and marinade in bourbon for 5-7 days to add to drink.

Great recipe. More or less how I do it. Thank you for not muddling up a fruit salad in the bottom of the glass. LOLJust to be that nitpicky guy, bourbon IS whiskey.All bourbon is whiskey. Not all whiskey is bourbon.Just as all scotch is whisk(e)y. Not all whisk(e)y is scotch.Sorry, had to.
