Old-Fashioned

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces ​bourbon (or rye whiskey)

• 1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1 water to sugar ratio)

• 2 to 3 dashes ​Angostura bitters

• Ice

• Garnish: ​orange peel

Directions:

• Add the simple syrup & bitters to a glass and stir to combine, 20-30 seconds

• Fill with ice but 1 large cube is ideal.

• Pour the bourbon over the ice and stir well.

• Add an orange peel. I like to squeeze it to express the oils over the drink, then rub the skin once or twice around the rim. It's all about getting the oils onto the drink.

Notes:

• Maple Old Fashioned - Add 1 tsp of maple syrup
