Cheers to having a good Old Fashioned Happy Fathers Day 🥃
To make a classic Old Fashioned cocktail, you will need:
Whiskey: 2 ounces of bourbon or rye whiskey.
Sweetener: 1 sugar cube (or 1 teaspoon granulated sugar) OR 2 teaspoons simple syrup.
Bitters: 2-3 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Water: 1 teaspoon water (if using a sugar cube).
Garnish (optional): Orange peel or Luxardo cherry.
Instructions:
Prepare the glass: Place the sugar cube (or granulated sugar) in an old-fashioned glass.
Add bitters and water: Saturate the sugar cube with bitters and add a few dashes of plain water.
Muddle: Muddle the sugar cube until it dissolves.
Add ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Add whiskey: Pour in the whiskey.
Stir: Stir gently. You can also stir in a mixing glass with ice until chilled, then strain into the rocks glass.
Garnish: Express the oil of an orange peel over the drink by gently twisting it, then add it as a garnish. You can also add a maraschino cherry.
Note: If using simple syrup instead of a sugar cube, combine the bitters and simple syrup directly in the glass, then add ice and whiskey and stir.
Cheers to Fathers Day ❤️🥃
