A fifties hipster experience, the Old Fashioned can be adapted to suit any taste. Change up the bitters, try out different combinations. Below you will find some pairings that we have enjoyed, but don’t be afraid to experiment.
2 ounces bourbon or rye
1 sugar cube (or 1/4 teaspoon simple syrup)
2-3 dashes angostura bitters
orange peel twist
Place sugar and bitters in a mixing glass with a little water, and muddle thoroughly. Stir thoroughly and strain into a martini glass. Top with an orange peel twist.
Alternative Old Fashioned combos:
bourbon with walnut bitters
bourbon with chocolate bitters and orange bitters
rye with cardamom and orange bitters
