The granddaddy, the real OG, the classic of classics - the Old Fashioned. This cocktail, born out of the "Bittered Sling" from the early 1800's, is the format from which all other single-serve cocktails come from. The simple formula that creates complex flavors - sweet, bitter, and spirit. This cocktail is the epitome of the phrase "easy to learn, hard to master"
In a rocks glass, build:
one sugar cube
3-4 dashes of Angostura bitters
optional 1/4oz of soda water to activate the sugar cube
crush your sugar cube with the opposite side of your bar spoon and allow it to coat the bottom of your glass
pour 2oz of your preferred whiskey
add ice (single big rock if you'd like!)
stir until the wash line of the cocktail has doubled up the side of the glass
garnish with an orange peel
