How to Make the Perfect Old Fashioned: A Timeless Cocktail Experience

The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that has stood the test of time. With its rich flavors and simple preparation, it’s the ideal drink for any bourbon enthusiast. In this guide, we’ll show you how to craft the perfect Old Fashioned, while highlighting our premium whiskey glassware, and our innovative crystal clear ice cube maker for an elevated drinking experience.

What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

• 2 oz of quality bourbon (check out our selection for the perfect choice)
• 1 sugar cube
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• Orange twist for garnish
• Crystal clear ice cubes

Equipment:

• Mixing glass
• Muddler
• Bar spoon
• Old Fashioned glass (find yours in our glassware collection)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Muddle the Sugar: Start by placing a sugar cube in your Old Fashioned glass. Add a few dashes of Angostura bitters on top. Use a muddler to crush the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation for your drink’s sweetness and complexity.

2. Add the Ice: Here’s where our clear ice cube maker shines. Fill your glass with one large, crystal clear ice cube. Not only do these ice cubes look stunning, but they also melt slowly, ensuring that your drink stays cold without becoming diluted.

3. Pour the Bourbon: Measure out 2 oz of your favorite bourbon. For a truly exceptional experience. Pour the bourbon over the ice cube, allowing it to chill perfectly.

4. Stir: Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20 seconds. This helps to blend the flavors without over-diluting your drink.

5. Garnish: Finally, take a fresh orange twist and express the oils over the drink before dropping it in as a garnish. This adds a lovely citrus aroma that enhances every sip.
