Old Fashioned

Classic cocktail - by Barbara Northwood
  • 03 Apr 2019
Old Fashioned
Prep: 5 Minutes - Easy - Serves 1 - Vegan
Proudly supported by

Spicy, sweet and aromatic, an old fashioned is one of the finest ways to savour a good whiskey. The key is getting dilution right – you need to coax just enough water from the ice to open up the whiskey without making the drink watery. That’s why the slow, gentle stirring is so important.

Ingredients

50ml bourbon or rye whiskey

ice

5ml 2:1 sugar syrup

2 dashes Angostura bitters

orange or lemon zest to garnish (lemon for rye whiskey, orange for bourbon)

Method

  1. Add half the whiskey and 2 ice cubes to a rocks glass. Stir. Add the sugar syrup, Angostura bitters and 2 more ice cubes. Stir. Add the rest of the whiskey and 2 more ice cubes. Stir.

  2. Add 2 more ice cubes, then pinch the citrus zest so the aromatic oils spray over the drink, then drop it into the glass.
