Old Fashioned

★☆☆☆☆
Prep: 5 mins Cook: None Serves: 1

Ingredients

  • 60ml George Dickel No. 12 Tennessee whiskey, or other American whiskey (2 oz)
  • 1 brown sugar cube
  • 2ml white sugar (1/2 tsp)
  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 dash Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6
  • 7ml cold water (1/4 oz)
  • 1 large ice cube
  • Garnish: lemon twist and orange twist

Instructions

  1. Place the sugar cube in a rocks glass and douse with Angostura, orange bitters, and cold water.
  2. Add the white sugar and muddle until the sugars are fully dissolved.
  3. Add whiskey and stir to combine.
  4. Add a large ice cube.
  5. Express a lemon twist and an orange twist over the drink and drop both in.
Family version doubles the sweetener (brown sugar cube + 1/2 tsp white sugar) and adds Regan's orange bitters alongside Angostura — a modern 'improved' Old Fashioned style. Canonical IBA uses a single sugar cube and Angostura only.
