🧂 Ingredients

🧊 60 ml (2 oz) bourbon or rye whiskey

🍹 How to Make the Perfect Old Fashioned

In a rocks glass, place the sugar cube and bitters.

Add a few drops of water or soda and muddle gently until dissolved.

Stir slowly to release rich caramel and citrus notes.

Express the orange peel’s oils over the glass, then drop it in for a fragrant, golden finish.

💡 Pro Tips for the Best Old Fashioned Ever

🔥 Always use premium whiskey, at least single malt— cheap spirits ruin the balance.
🧊 One large cube is better than many small ones (less dilution, more flavor).

🍯 Prefer a smooth sip? Replace sugar with simple syrup.
🌿 Try creative bitters like orange, chocolate, or smoked cherry for bold variations.
