Old Fashioned Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Old Fashioned Cocktail Directions
Prepare the Glass
Start by placing a sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. If you don't have a sugar cube, you can use about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Add Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters onto the sugar cube. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add an extra dash.
Add Ice
Add 3 large ice cubes to the glass. Large cubes melt slower and will keep your drink colder for longer without diluting it too quickly.
Stir the Cocktail
Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon or a regular spoon for about 10-15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.
Finish with Cherry
Optionally, add a maraschino cherry to the drink for an extra touch of sweetness and garnish.
