The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that was invented in Louisville, KY. You can make it with bourbon, rye, or a blended whiskey. You can also substitute one sugar cube for the simple syrup, but we prefer the simple syrup as it provides a smoother finish.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 teaspoons simple syrup
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 dashes bitters (we love the Almond Bitters with this recipe!)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger bourbon whiskey
- 1 orange slice
- 1 maraschino cherry
METHOD
Pour simple syrup, water, and bitters into a whiskey glass; stir to combine. Add ice cubes and pour in bourbon. Garnish with orange slice and maraschino cherry.
