Method
Old Fashioned Cocktail
Prepare glass
Place a rocks glass in front of you. If you prefer the drink slightly chilled, optionally chill the glass in the freezer for a few minutes beforehand.
Add sugar and bitters
Add 0.25 oz simple syrup to the rocks glass. Add 2 dashes Regan's orange bitters and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into the syrup.
Express and garnish orange peel
Cut a 1-inch wide strip of orange peel, removing as much pith as possible. Hold the peel over the glass skin-side down and give it a firm twist to express the oils over the drink, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass as a garnish. Optionally add a Luxardo cherry on a pick.
Adjust sweetness
Taste and, if you prefer it sweeter, add up to an additional 0.25 oz simple syrup and stir once more to incorporate.
Serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly.
