Recipe

• 2oz bourbon (I usually prefer a higher proof choice to better stand up to dilution from the ice)
• .25oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• Couple dashes of Angostura bitters

Stir all ingredients with ice, then strain over a fresh large cube. Add a *critical* spritz of orange peel oil by gently squeezing the peel over the top of the drink, and lightly rub the peel across the rim of the glass. Drop in.

About

Not much to say about this classic. You can’t beat a classic Old Fashioned. It’s probably my favorite and go-to cocktail more than anything else, and I’m sure many of you feel the same.
