The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that dates back to the early 19th century. It typically consists of bourbon or rye whiskey, sugar, bitters, and a twist of citrus peel. This drink is known for its simplicity and elegance, allowing the rich flavors of the whiskey to shine through. Served over ice in a short glass, it’s a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts. To make an Old Fashioned, start by muddling a sugar cube with a few dashes of Angostura bitters in a glass. Add a large ice cube, pour in the whiskey, and stir gently. Garnish with an orange twist or a cherry for a touch of flair.
