Recipes

The classic Old Fashioned is one of myall timefavourites: it's sophisticated, bold and the kind of cocktail you savour with every sip. On top of that, it's about the easiest cocktail you can make — you just need to stir slowly and patiently 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 bitters, you conjure an elegant, slightly syrupy drink right in your glass.

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 sugar syrup
3 to 5 dashes of Angostura bitters
A few large ice cubes
Garnish: an orange slice / orange zest

Old Fashioned

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

2. Add the drops of Angostura bitters and just a tiny splash of orange juice (watch out for the pips).

3. Stir until all the ingredients are combined. Then add the ice and the whisky: the choice is entirely yours, but a bourbon or rye whisky is the classic pairing.

4. Slowly stir in circles with the bar spoon. This allows a little water to blend into the drink, creating a wonderful, 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, made since the nineteenth century. Its secret lies in simplicity: few ingredients, but good ones. Choose a bourbon or rye whisky you genuinely enjoy, because that flavour is front and centre in this drink.

Opt for large ice cubes — they melt more slowly than small ones, keeping your cocktail nicely cold without diluting it too much. A wide, low glass is ideal for serving the Old Fashioned at its best.
