Old-Fashioned
Posted in : Angostura Bitters, Bourbon Whiskey, Rye Whiskey on by : Nick Hancock
Arguably, authentic Old-Fashioneds are to be made with either Kentucky Bourbon or rye Whiskeys and without all the fruit as often is the case.
| 2 oz | 6 cl | Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 47% ABV | Rittenhouse 100 Proof Rye Whiskey, 50% ABV |
| 1 | Twist of orange peel | Twist of lemon peel | |
| 2 dashes | Angostura Bitters | ||
| 1 | Sugar lump | ||
Add the sugar lump into an Old-Fashioned glass, dash the Angostura Bitters over the sugar lump, add a barspoon of warm water and muddle the ingredients until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the whiskey into the glass and stir. The add ice, preferably a single large ice cube, and stir to cool. Add a zest of orange or lemon, depending on the type of whiskey used, as garnish. Enjoy.
