A good old-fashioned should be a staple in any at-home bartender's cocktail list. Though there are quite a few ways to create the drink, this Outsider-approved version uses rye, simple syrup, cherries and an orange peel.
Ingredients:
2 oz. Old Forester Rye
2 dashes Angostura Orange bitters
2 dashes Angostura Aromatic bitters
1 tsp. simple syrup
1 marachino cherry
1 large ice cube
1 orange peel
Instructions:
Pour 2 oz. rye.
Add 2 dashes of each bitters.
Add 1 tsp. simple syrup
Add 1 maraschino cherry and store.
Add large ice cube.
Express orange peel oils into the drink. Twist peel and add to the glass.
Cheers!
