Old Fashioned

I like to make these as essentially a built drink. I stir it in a mixing glass without ice to combine the ingredients prior to pouring it over a large ice cube in an un-chilled single old fashioned. Similar to scotch on the rocks. Alternatively, I’ll make the drink in its serving glass and gently add a large ice cube after stirring. Initially the flavors will be strong with very little dilution. As you sip the cocktail and gently swirl it, the drink will chill and dilute as the flavors mellow.

Apple Old Fashioned

Old Fashioned, Rye, Whiskey

This cocktail combines spicy Rye with a hint of apple from the bitters. Add to that a touch of smooth honey syrup and you have a drink that is light on the tongue but still bitters forward. You may want to adjust the ratio of bitters to syrup depending on…

This drink requires Bad Dog Barcraft’s Fire and Damnation Bitters available here. You want several dashes of the bitters to enable the flavors to come through. Then balance the bitterness with the agave. Be careful not to make it sweet.

Old Fashioned, Rum

A glass of whiskey sitting on top of a stack of books.

This is one of my go to Old Fashioneds. The spice of the habanero shrub and the touch of sweetness of the agave complement the dark complex flavors of the aged rum. I make this as an essentially built drink. Just add the ingredients to your old fashioned glass, give…

Rye Old Fashioned

Old Fashioned, Rye, Whiskey

I think Peychaud’s Bitters were made for rye whiskey. I tried using simple syrup, but I did not like the additional dilution. Also, don’t skimp on the bitters. 2 oz Good rye such as Sazerac or Bulleit Small Batch 1/2 – 1 tsp Sugar 3-4 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
