Old Fashioned
“This cocktail is one of my husband’s favorite cocktails. An old-school, yet timeless drink; properly made, it's strong but not too strong, sweet but not too sweet, simple and surely a delicious drink. Cheers!”
Ingredients:
2 oz. Buffalo Trace Bourbon
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
2 to 3 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange twist and/or cocktail cherry, such as Luxardo to garnish (optional)
Place sugar in an Old Fashioned glass. Douse with bitters and add a few drops of water.
Add bourbon and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add several large ice cubes and stir rapidly with a bar spoon to chill.
Garnish, if you like, with a slice of orange and/or a cherry.
