The classic Old Fashioned is one of myall timefavorites: it's elegant, rugged and the cocktail to enjoy with every sip. Besides, it's about the easiest cocktail to make — you just need to stir slowly for the best result.

Recipe

Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is a timeless cocktail you can make at home in just a few minutes. With rye whisky or bourbon, sugar and Angostura bitter you conjure an elegant, slightly syrupy drink in your glass.

Preparation time

Preparation time	5 min
Total	10 min

Equipment

A tumbler glass with straight sides and a thick base
bar spoon and/or muddler

Ingredients

50 ml rye whisky or bourbon
1 sugar cube or 10 ml simple syrup
3 to 5 drops Angostura bitter
A few large ice cubes
Garnish: an orange slice/orange zest

Old Fashioned

1. Start with the sugar cube or the simple syrup in the centre of the glass.

2. Then add the drops of Angostura bitter and a very small amount of orange juice (watch out for seeds).

3. Stir until all the ingredients are combined. Then add the ice and the whisky: it's entirely up to you which type you use, but a bourbon or rye whisky 'belongs' with this.

4. Slowly stir a few circles with the spoon. A little water mixes in with the drink, creating a lovely, slightly syrupy texture.

5. Garnish with a piece of orange zest and cheers!

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

The Old Fashioned is one of the oldest cocktails in the world and has been made since the nineteenth century. The secret lies in its simplicity: few ingredients, but of good quality. Choose a bourbon or rye whisky you enjoy, because that flavor is central to this drink.

Preferably use large ice cubes, as they melt more slowly than small ones. This keeps your cocktail nicely cold without becoming overly diluted. A wide, low glass is ideal for serving the Old Fashioned at its best.
