How to make an Old Fashioned· 3 min

  1. 1Add the simple syrup and Angostura bitters to a rocks glass.
  2. 2Add the bourbon and one large ice cube.
  3. 3Stir for 30 seconds to chill and dilute.
  4. 4Express an orange twist over the glass, drop it in and add a cherry.

Bartender tip: Build it in the glass and stir patiently — the dilution from the ice is part of the recipe. A single large cube melts slower than several small ones.
