Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that is perfect for sipping on a lazy afternoon or enjoying with friends at a party. To make this timeless drink, you will need: - 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey - 1 sugar cube - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - 1 orange peel - Ice - Club soda (optional) To prepare the Old Fashioned, start by placing the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add the bitters and a splash of water to the glass and stir until the sugar dissolves. Next, add a large ice cube to the glass and pour in the whiskey. Stir the drink for about 15 seconds to properly chill and dilute the drink. Finally, twist the orange peel over the drink to release the oils and drop it into the glass. If you prefer a lighter drink, top it off with a splash of club soda. Enjoy your perfect Old Fashioned!
