4.5 rye
1 simple
4 dash angostura
Flamed lemon or orange peel

Old fashioneds should never include the following: cherries, soda water, jack daniels

I usually make one about once a week regardless of season.


Pretty standard recipe except that I use Jack Daniels rather than traditional bourbon and I over pour the JD.

-Teaspoon of sugar at bottom of low ball glass
-three dashes of bitter and swirl the glass to dissolve sugar
-add peel of orange and a single cherry
-add ice
- three parts whiskey
- one part soda water
-stir

I muddle and measurements are adjusted by eye so I will be shunned in this thread.
