Bourbon Old Fashioned Instructions

The Bourbon Old Fashioned is a classic and timeless cocktail that has been enjoyed by bourbon lovers for decades. It is a simple yet sophisticated drink that is perfect for those who appreciate the rich and complex flavors of bourbon.

To make a Bourbon Old Fashioned, you will need a few ingredients including bourbon, bitters, sugar, and a twist of orange peel. The key to a great Old Fashioned is using high-quality ingredients and taking the time to properly muddle the sugar and bitters to release their flavors.

To start, take a sugar cube and place it in an Old Fashioned glass. Add a few dashes of bitters directly onto the sugar cube. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved.

Next, add a splash of water to the glass and give it a stir to combine. This will help to further dissolve the sugar and create a smooth base for the cocktail.

Now it's time to add the star ingredient - bourbon. Pour in a shot or two of your favorite bourbon, depending on how strong you like your drink. Give it a gentle stir to incorporate the bourbon with the sugar and bitters mixture.

To finish off the cocktail, take a twist of orange peel and gently squeeze it over the glass to release the oils. Rub the rim of the glass with the orange peel and then drop it into the glass as a garnish. This will add a touch of citrus aroma and flavor to the drink.

Now all that's left to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your perfectly crafted Bourbon Old Fashioned. Cheers!
