Method
Preparation
Muddle the Sugar
In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the water. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the sugar cube until it dissolves.
Add Bitters
Add the Angostura bitters on top of the muddled sugar and water mixture, and stir gently to combine.
Pour the Whiskey
Pour in the bourbon or rye whiskey over the muddled mixture. Stir gently to mix the flavors.
Garnishing
Add Ice
Add a large ice cube or a few smaller cubes to the glass. This will chill the drink without diluting it too quickly.
Garnish the Drink
Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by twisting it and then place it in the glass. Add the maraschino cherry on top for a classic finish.
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your Papa Roberds' Old Fashioned!
