Old Fashioned Cocktail

What’s better than sipping on a cocktail that has a long history of turning mundane evenings into legendary tales? The Old Fashioned is here to rescue your spirits! Check out the fantastic image below that perfectly captures this delightful concoction.

Ingredients

2 oz Bourbon or Rye whiskey
1 sugar cube (or 1/2 teaspoon sugar)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
A few dashes of plain water
Ice cubes
Orange twist (for garnish)
Maraschino cherry (if you’re feeling fancy)

Instructions

Start by muddling the sugar cube in an old-fashioned glass with the bitters and a dash of water. You want to make sure it’s dissolved, but no need to whip out a whisk—just a gentle smash will do!
Next, fill the glass with ice cubes. We’re not looking for a tropical ice cap, just enough to keep things nice and chilled.
Pour in the bourbon or rye whiskey like you’re pouring liquid gold. This is where it all comes together!
Stir gently. You’re not trying to create a tornado here; just a little swizzle will do.
Now, for the crowning glory, garnish with an orange twist. Get that zest! And if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in a maraschino cherry, because why not?

And there you have it! Now sit back, relax, and sip your Old Fashioned as if you were lounging in a speakeasy from the Roaring ’20s. Cheers to that perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication—one sip at a time!
