Four-Stars on the bottle means four-stars in a glass. This is our take on the cocktail that brought whiskey back (even though we know it never left) - the Old Fashioned. In terms of historic importance, it’s hard to compare this classic to any other.  To drink one is to taste the original. Make this at home or order one up at your trusted cocktail bar.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. Ammunition Straight Bourbon Whiskey
  • 1 sugar cube (see notes for other options)
  • 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • splash warm water
  • orange peel for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a double rocks glass, muddle the sugar cube or sugar with Angostura bitters and a small splash of warm water until dissolved.

Step 2

If using simple syrup, swirl with bitters in a double rocks glass.

Step 3

Add whiskey and ice (preferably an oversized cube) and stir well.

Step 4

Garnish with an orange peel.

Note

If you don't have sugar cubes on hand, a teaspoon of sugar or a heaping 1/4 ounce of simple syrup will do the trick in a pinch.
