In reply to Schef Wright. Hi Schef, so glad you love the recipes! A cocktail cherry would be a great add here.

The Old Fashioned us my favorite cocktail. For decades, my experience us that it includes a high-quality cocktail cherry – Luxardo Maraschino or Fabbri Amarena, or Trader Joe’s Amarenas are excellent, too, but only available seasonally. Love your recipes, we own both your cookbooks!

Thank you for sharing this wonderfully simple and delicious Old Fashioned cocktail recipe! This classic whiskey-based drink is an absolute staple, and your easy-to-follow steps make it a breeze to recreate at home.

I appreciate the attention to detail in the whiskey selection and the guidance on using either bourbon or rye, highlighting their unique flavors and how they affect the overall taste profile of the cocktail. The addition of Angostura Bitters, sugar (or simple syrup), and the recommendation of a large ice cube for slower dilution truly elevate the drinking experience.

Your suggestion for garnishing with an orange peel adds a delightful aromatic touch that complements the drink impeccably. The versatility you offer by mentioning various alternatives for garnishing allows for personal preferences in tailoring this classic cocktail.

I can’t wait to try this recipe! Cheers to your team for making cocktail crafting so accessible and enjoyable. It’s great to have a foolproof recipe for such a timeless drink.

I think you forgot to mention that as a last step you twist-and-squeeze the orange peel into the drink before dropping it into the Old Fashioned (?). Thanks for posting recipe.

I LOVE an old fashioned with maple syrup instead of sugar! I think it gives it depth and a lovely unique flavor. Thanks for sharing your take. Always love your recipes!
