Old Fashioned

  • Yield: 1 drink 1x

Description

Old fashioned with bourbon and bitters. From Your Daily Hit.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sugar cube or 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 to 3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 2 ounces (60ml) bourbon
  • Large clear ice cube
  • Orange peel

Instructions

  1. Put sugar, bitters, and water in a rocks glass. Muddle until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add bourbon and stir with one large cube until the glass is cold, about 15 seconds.
  3. Express an orange peel over the drink, rub it on the rim, and drop it in.
  4. Serve without a straw so the dilution stays slow.

Notes

A muddled fruit salad is a different, sweeter bar style. This page is the spirit-forward stir. Rye can replace bourbon.
