METHOD: Dissolve or muddle sugar with bitters and a splash of Maker’s Mark in an Old Fashioned glass. Fill glass 3/4 full of ice. Add Maker’s Mark and stir. Express orange peel over your glass to release citrus oils.

ICE: Block ice

GARNISH: Orange peel

GLASS: Old Fashioned

PRO TIPS

DO THE TWIST Twist orange peel directly over your serving glass to express the oils and add a fresh essence and pleasing aroma to the drink.

A LITTLE BITTER With bitters, a little bit goes a long way. Two or three drops will add much depth to your Old Fashioned.

THE BIG CHILL Large ice cubes or an ice ball are more than just cool to look at. Large ice melts slower, allowing the flavors to stand up longer.

SUGAR, SUGAR Adding a teaspoon of dry brown sugar (such as Demerara), rather than a refined white sugar, will give your Old Fashioned a richer flavour.
