Name: Seriously Good Old Fashioned Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 to 2 teaspoons simple syrup, see our tips for making simple syrup; 3 dashes bitters, Angostura is great and readily available; 2 ounces mid-range bourbon or rye whiskey; One 2-inch piece of orange peel, optional; 1 to 2 maraschino cherries, optional

With just three main ingredients, it&#8217;s simple to make and there are lots of options for adding your own spin. Most commonly, bourbon or rye whiskey are used. That doesn’t mean to say that there aren’t other options. Gin, brandy and rum all work really well. We particularly love switching the whiskey for a dark, aged rum.

The best recipe - I don’t use water and I middle the orange peel with the simple syrup &amp; bitters to extract the orange oils.

Thank you for not only a comprehensive tour of the old-fashioned recipe but also your derivations with Rum and other whiskeys. I particularly liked the flaming orange peel( Something I now use at my parties along with sabering champagne bottles !!). I started using Angel's Envy Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Port Barrel Finish as my ingredients. I learned about this at my local bar in NYC in the building I live in ( Ascent bar at 25 Columbus Circle). My neighbor is Micheal Keaton and he loves the drink !!

We just attended a wedding where one of the featured drinks was an Old Fashioned. Home from the celebration, we had to make them ourselves. We didn’t have an orange on hand for peel so I added one bar spoon of orange juice. We are enjoying them. Thanks for the recipe and all f the tips.

My favourite drink and what a great guide - especially the ice tips! Thanks!

My new favorite drink. I hate whiskey or bourbon put the key is ice.  I increased the simply syrup to my taste but found the secret is the ice. If you let it sit about 10 minutes it’s perfect and will become your favorite drink too. I also recommend ice balls (you can buy the molds online) so the ice melts slower:

I have tried to  wing it  for months, but using this actual recipe helped so much.   Tastes just like an old fashioned from a good craft bar.  Great tip to leave out the extra water.   I add a Filthy black cherry to mine. I'm gonna go grow a beard now.

How to make our Old Fashioned recipe at home. Plus, lots of extra twists for how to make it best and have some fun.
