How to Make an Old Fashioned Like a Bartender

Step 1

To a standard old fashioned glass, add your sugar cube, 1 or 2 dashes of Angostura bitters (or a similar style of bitters) and a bar spoon’s worth of water. Use your muddler to crush the sugar cube until it has completely dissolved in the bitters and water.

Step 2

Editor tip: Bitters are a highly concentrated blend of herbs, spices, roots, bark and fruits that add a bitter, bittersweet or sour flavor to cocktails and other beverages.

Step 3

Once the sugar has dissolved, add a couple of ice cubes to your glass, then pour in the whiskey. Use your bar spoon to stir the drink for about 20 seconds, or until the whiskey has chilled.

Step 4

Editor tip: To prevent your cocktail from being watered down too much, use the largest ice cubes you can make a home. Ice chips or crushed will melt very quickly, so 2-inch ice cubes or ice spheres are preferable.

Step 5

If desired, garnish your old fashioned with an orange peel. Gently twist an orange peel over your cocktail so the oils are sprayed overtop. Then, drop the peel into the glass and enjoy your old fashioned.
