Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe

</aside>

An Old Fashioned is a timeless cocktail that highlights the whiskey's character. Here's how I recommend crafting one:

1. In a mixing glass, combine:
   • 2 dashes of bitters (Angostura aromatic bitters recommended for a traditional experience)
   • 1/4 to 1/2 ounce of simple syrup or demerara syrup (depending on your preference for sweetness - use demerara for a richer flavor)
   • 2 ounces of your chosen whiskey
2. Add ice and stir until well-chilled.
3. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice or a large ice cube.
4. Garnish with an orange peel, expressing the oils over the glass before placing it in the drink.

Exploring Bitters

</aside>

Bitters are concentrated flavor extracts that add depth and complexity to cocktails. While Angostura aromatic bitters are traditional in an Old Fashioned, exploring other varieties can introduce new flavor dimensions:

• Tobacco Bitters: Impart earthy, savory, and leather notes, adding a unique depth to whiskey-based cocktails. They pair well with spirits like whiskey, rum, mezcal, and coffee-based cocktails.
• Walnut or Pecan Bitters: Introduce a nutty warmth, enhancing the earthy tones of the spirit.
• Orange Bitters: Provide a bright, citrusy note that complements the sweetness of bourbon or rye.
• Chocolate Bitters: Add a rich, cocoa-infused depth, pairing well with the caramel notes in whiskey.
• Spiced Bitters: Such as clove or cinnamon bitters, offer warm spice notes that enhance the cocktail's complexity.
