The old fashioned is a classic cocktail that was invented in Louisville, KY. You can make it with rye or bourbon. Today I used my Buffalo Trace barrel pick. In this recipe we are using a brown sugar based simple syrup but we also have a recipe using a pecan simple syrup or you can muddle a sugar cube instead.Â
Ingredients:
- 2 oz bourbon Â
- 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
- 2 dashes of black walnut bitters
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
Garnish
- 1 orange peel
- luxardo cherry
Make the cocktail

Pour the whiskey, simple syrup and and bitters in an iced mixing glass. Stir with a bar spoon to combine.
Pour over a clear ice cube in a low ball or rocks glass. I used my Klaris Ice maker.
Add in a luxardo cherry for garnish. Express an orange peel around the rim and garnish with it. Â
