Ingredients List
- 2 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey (use something good, but not over-the-top)
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar (or 1 sugar cube)
- 2-3 dashes of bitters; Angostura is traditional and works well; Fee Brothers”™ Whiskey Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned Bitters are better
Directions
1. Place the sugar in an Old Fashioned glass and douse with the bitters; add a few drops of water, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the whiskey and give a few good stirs to further dissolve the sugar, then add a couple of large ice cubes. Stir a few times to chill; garnish, if you like, with a slice of orange and a cherry, though it”™s perfectly fine to skip this step. If you”™re accustomed to topping the drink with soda, at least give it a chance once without; your father brought you up to be open-minded.
