Here is the BEST Old Fashion recipe you'll ever try!

​@@kanoaikawach Why

[@maximusofgalihand]

Lmao

[@ExecutiveChrist]

Man of culture!

[@Pkeane04]

I like using Maple syrup as the sweetener and angostura bitters.

[@Brewzle]

Actually had this suggestion previously and tried it this weekend, was really good.

[@ou812927]

Yep, me too

[@Maxdouble07]

That’s how I make mine now! It’s incredibly delicious!🥃

[@nickmessner700]

I do the same, but prefer Peychaud bitters. The anise notes play with the maple syrup in a way I really enjoy.

[@LemonMeIon]

AKA “Angry Canadian”

[@AmericanPsyko85]

I enjoy a full glass of whatever I am drinking

[@rustyshackleford2808]

“That’ll be $20”

[@Brewzle]

probably more than that at a bar, sadly

[@HANSE658]

That’s just the normal price where I live

[@jpcampbell]

That’s why I rarely order one. Too easy to make perfectly at home for cheap.

[@chanceDdog2009]

More like$ 35 or 50$ for top shelf..... A restaurant near me sells shots of pappy van winkle for 51$ ... For a single shot. And they aren't even that fancy ....

[@rustyshackleford2808]

@@chanceDdog2009 that’s bull. I always try to tell my gf it’s not worth it, and that we can do it for a fraction of the price at home…

[@reaperronin8898]

I’ll definitely give this a try… Thanks for sharing.

[@Brewzle]

No problem, I hope you enjoy it.

[@jacobthomas8158]

i made a pomegranate old fashioned for christmas this year! i muddled fresh seeds and added a pomegranate simple syrup i made with orange bitters and some woodford reserve, was excellent

[@joeschmo6126]

Thank you very much! No fuss, no muss. Easy pizzy.

[@RandallChase1]

My wife bought me a smoker like that and I LOVE IT! I make an old fashioned very similarly.

[@zroni.motta17]

That’s sounds pretty delicious, great stuff honestly!

[@chubbypumpalo2009]

That’s a damn good looking ole fashioned my friend!

[@tomslik4]

You Sir are a true connoisseur😊

[@ChristopherOSU]

Michter's is so bland and boring though 🤮

[@Isaac_L..]

For me... One sugar cube with 2-3 dashes of ango. Add a drizzle of water (preferably soda) and muddle until the sugar is 50-80% dissolved. Then add 2 oz of bourbon (I like something higher proof, tbh most anything bonded will probably be good) a LARGE CLEAR ICE CUBE (cant emphasize how important good ice is for this drink) and stirr in the same glass for 5-10 seconds (shorter than most drinks). For garnish do a lemon and orange peel (aka the rabbit ears garnish), and dont forget to express those oils over the top of the drink. But yeah, its a classic for a reason; great drink.

[@jayblack5231]

Cherry syrup with the half oz of demerara sounds sweet

[@andrewmeilinger6203]

Way too sweet

[@JonathanMontgomery77]

Ya I would send that drink back... Half oz demerara.... It's proally a 2:1 too. Then cherry syrup. No Ango or other aromatic bitters... No fresh orange... Orange bitters instead... Needs salt too especially since it's that dang sweet... I'm sorry that smoke is not gonna save it.

[@henrycervantezzz5566]

Definitely. .25 oz at most plus just the syrup on cherry is enough. Needs the orange and a dash or two of ango.

[@jdteney]

Exactly. I don't think this guy is much of a bartender tho

[@Joe-hi6on]

Yeah, too sweet. It's super sweet with 1/4 oz. Half ounce is way too much

[@OldFashionedWays]

I do enjoy myself an Old-Fashioned. This is a great take on one. thanks for sharing. cheers.

[@Brewzle]

Thanks for the positive vibes.

[@ccmike202]

Here's my favorite old fashioned: Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon with Angostura or Orange Bitters, then some simple syrup. ALWAYS use Luxardo cherries with a little bit of the juice in there. And you can't forget the Orange rind squeezed and rubbed around the rim. I've never had anything to properly smoke my Old Fashioned, but I gotta try it.

[@Brewzle]

That sounds great, I do love double oaked in an old fashioned.

[@OldFashionedWays]

One of my favorited ways too

[@javelin1978]

That’s exactly how I like mine!

[@pgreenberg66]

Woodford all the way.

[@jsmoncrief]

Not a fan of smoked drinks. Bought a smoke machine used it once.

[@willcresson8776]

I'd either have to leave out the demurara or cut down on the cherry syrup, but otherwise this sounds quite nice. I tend to be pretty simple with my old fashioned. 2oz whiskey, 1/2oz sweetener, a dash or two of whatever bitters I have on hand, a luxardo cherry (if i have it), rub the rim with an orange peel (if I have it).

[@beitheleaf8221]

I enjoyed an old fashioned with cranberry bitters and crème de cacao I think and man!…it was so well rounded and refreshing! ❤ mixology is an art

[@mathewthatcher6274]

I do exactly what you do plus 2 dashes of the aromatic bitters. I have the same smoker too. Delicious. Well done

[@jimhays2772]

That's what I do with the premium cherry syrup and less on the symple syrup. The orange put a 1/4 small wedge and stomp once or twice with a muddler so a little juice and arange essence is released. And a cherry in the end on top like he does here. Had lots of compliments on this one.

[@averagescruffy258]

My favorite old fashioned is Four Roses single barrel, two healthy dashes of Angostura bitters, some simple, and an orange twist

[@thomashooper4229]

Exactly how I make mine! I love Four Roses Single Barrel!

[@TheCS44]

The orange twist is exactly what I thought he was missing from the recipe!

[@chrisalexander1274]

That’s how I do it, but 4 dashes of bitter

[@TM-df1qv]

Saving this, drinking it later, thanking you immediately afterwards

[@Richo7254]

Tried it as demonstrated. It is delicious! Thank you

[@Moeslater]

Yes that cherry 🍒 juice is a must!!

[@WeildtheTrident]

almost the exact same as mine, including applewood smoke and luxardo , but i use 1792 SB and 3 dashes orange bitters, 3 dashes angostura

[@greghorning5424]

I grew up a half mile away from michters distillery. I have some really cool items from them!

[@graingerdean]

Old Fashion is my favorite drink. Proof also makes a good syrup. Don’t forget the orange peel.

[@isaiah3950]

2oz of favorite whiskey (mine is woodford reserve double oaked) .25 demerara syrup 2 dashes of angostura bitters ^Stir all in ice for 30 seconds pour over a gentlemen’s cube in a rocks glass 1 Expressed orange peel, rubbed over rim, placed in glass 1 luxardo cherry

[@m-uly1372]

Thanks, I like old fashions, will try that way!

[@tomk3635]

Was at a sales conference few weeks ago and drank quite a few of these minus the smoke. I like my pulled pork to taste smoky not my drinks lol. Can’t go wrong, definitely add the cherry! Bar used Angels Envy… excellent!

[@mattybearvids]

Bourbon by nature is smokey 🤷

[@04xH]

I love mine with some Glennfiddich, angostura bitters, brown sugar and an orange rind

[@scottd143]

I enjoy my old fashioned with the crittendon barrel pick you came out with. I use a premix for the bitters and sugar water. I rub the rim with orange peel . It is delicious

[@g..c7526]

Thank you my find sir!! Sorry this took me so long

[@butchersrespawn]

I recently became a big fan of the Michters straight rye over the Holidays. Good taste. Will be getting it again to make this drink. Gotta love the old fashioned.

[@DG-jq7il]

In a separate glass, good bourbon, Wellers or maybe Buffalo Trace, three dishes of orange bitters, and a half teaspoon of maple syrup. In your serving glass, burn some wood chips and place the glass over the burning wood, add an ice ball. stir your mixing glass, and pour it over the ice, take an orange peel, and give a twist into the glass, rub the oils on the rim, and drop it in.

[@cardiffgiant1724]

OF100 Rye for everyday, sometimes a Pikesville Rye. Homemade simple syrup infused with a little cinnamon stick and apple peel. Some angostura bitter, a good cherry and a peel with an ice ball. I keep the syrup and bitters mixed in a mason jar for easy pours

[@jerand8767]

Best old fashioned, is the one your buddy springs for.

[@Mwarnock10]

I’ve been using 50ml Wild Turkey 101 3 dashes angostura bitters Tbs simple Orange twist to finish Simple and delicious

[@JMSherrill1983]

Oaxacan old fashioned is my favorite!

[@ronarwood442]

That actually looks amazing❤

[@MCrcAdventures420]

That looks amazing

[@josht3891]

Just made it it's pretty good 👍

[@Geoffrey.McDonald]

Very similar to my old fashion. I like using raw sugar, 2 dashes of angostura bitters, 1 dash of orange bitters, 2 oz rye, 1 luxardo cherry, 1 orange peel. Then add the ice cube of course

[@bigdaddy4691]

Mine is a just a classic Maker's Mark old fashioned with simple syrup and orange bitters. I mix everything in a measuring cup combine it then pour it over a large ice cube.

[@tonyn152]

Looks good. I like to express an orange slice over it and rub the rim, then add to the drink. Just got a smoking kit for Christmas and experimenting with it. Any suggestions for the best wood and time to let it smoke would be helpful.

[@columboscandela]

The beautiful thing about an old fashioned is the variation in how it is made. I make mine using the following method: • one sugar cube in an old fashioned/rocks glass • three dashes of bitters on top of the sugar cube • trim an orange slice down leaving a bit of the meat on the rind - squeeze the small bit of juice left in the orange on the sugar cube. • muddle the liquid/sugar cube mixture. • add 2-3oz of Wild Turkey 101 rye • stir for a bit • add your maraschino cherry • express the orange rind from earlier round the rim of the glass and place the rind in the glass • add ice cube(s) • enjoy

[@Brewzle]

I actually made some very similar to this this past weekend and they were delicious.

[@mikes8863]

Ngl this is one of the best vids and recipes for old fashion

[@rarecoolitems]

That’s good holiday drink. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter

[@jedidiahhendricks8572]

I like mine with makers mark, angestora bitters, white sugar, orange, sweet cherry, and ice. Put a few dashes of bitters and a 1/2 tsp sugar in a rocks glass, stir down to get the sugar started dissolving. Then put in a couple ice cubes and a little whiskey then stir, go back and forth with adding and stirring until you have about 2 oz poured. Put little cherry syrup in, a squeeze of orange juice, stir, and garnish with a cherry and orange slice. You can adjust the sugar and cherry syrup to your liking. I like my drinks a little on the sweeter side.

[@matthewj.9261]

That looks delicious! Need to get the smoker kit.

[@bdbrolly]

I do angostina bitters, then orange bitters. Also add the bit of the marachino cherry juice, the smoke is all for show, imo. Orange peel if i have it but not necessary. I make my own simple syrup with a bit vanilla extract. 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Could infuse with real vanilla bean if your fancy ahead of time.

[@Theshotgunreport]

So I’ve been on a: 2oz Pikesville Rye 1/2oz Demerara syrup Couple dashes or old foresters Bohemian bitters Garnished with an amarena cherry. It’s delicious to say the least!

[@zachmena1700]

-2 oz burbon -2-4 dash angostura bitters -barspoon of demmerara syrup -express and insert orange swath - standard cubes of ice if I am going to drink it fast or a single large cube if I am going to be sipping it for awhile

[@88Doug]

I just started bar tending I subscribed!

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

I love em cheap and basic.

[@CheefEeth]

I make mine very similar! I prefer black walnut bitters though

[@bryanescobar8163]

In a tin shaker : cherry and orange slice with your choice of bitters & choice of bourbon or whiskey. muddle dry for about 10 seconds. Fine strain over Large ice cube or round cube and served with a fresh orange peel and cherry. Thank you!

[@Im-out.Boomer]

2 oz Three Crosses (Powhatan VA.) Noble Hound Dark Rye, half oz simple syrup, toasted orange rind, 6 to 8 drops of Fee Brothers black walnut bitters, smoked - usually oak barrel.🤗

[@Finis08]

Almost identical to how I make mine. The only changes is I use Woodford Reserve Rye and then express a lemon peel over the top and use the oils to rim the glass. Great way to make them. If you haven't used demerara syrup before you are missing out.

[@Razieleatssouls]

I like 3 dashes of angostura bitters, a little less than .5oz syrup, 2oz bourbon, stir up with ice a bunch, pour mixture over ice block and add/express orange peel

[@kriswegerer1975]

Looks good. I'm from WI and it's Korbel, maple syrup, bitters and Squirt. Tastes like juicy fruit! Top with a cherry or many of my buddys prefer olives.

[@KingdomMindedMinistry]

I know I’d enjoy this

[@deanruthlessrecords]

Looks Amazing

[@carlosmorera0924cm]

Sugar cubes, angostura bitters, a little splash of orange juice, smash it and stir in 2 oz of Makers mark, cherry and orange peel which i put over a fire for a few seconds to get the oils out and I rub it around the glass

[@gilbertstonecipher7601]

That looks so yummy

[@nickslobo]

Many different versions but my favorites are a quested bourbon with a chamomile gum syrup dandelion burdock root bitters and an orange peel. And second is a rum old fashioned with Ron Zacapa 23 year gum syrup angostura bitters and an orange peel.

[@rorigo101]

That's gonna be a really sweet drink what with the syrup, syrup amd bitters.

[@thefireysoul]

Lemon peel twisted, teaspoon maple syrup, 1-3 dashes Angostura bitters, splash of seltzer/club, then stir. Add a large ice cube, then 1.5 ounces of your favorite liquor, plus any berry as garnish. Give it the lightest shake/stir, then enjoy. It gets tastier every sip. Definitely eat that berry at the end.

[@bradhart2]

I make my own cocktail cherries using tart cherries and either dark rum or whiskey as booze base. Depending on my mood I like to alter my bitters as well for fun. Someone got me the big kit from Fees and some sampler packs of other brands for Christmas. Just for fun a few years ago when I was making a batch of cocktail cherries which are cheap enough to put over ice cream in large quantities I also made a trial run from frozen peaches which are fantastic instead of a cherry in an old fashion

[@ColonelNachos]

Wild turkey, Demerara syrup Lux cherry Juice from a blood orange slice Peel from the orange on the rim Angostura bitters

[@ChristopherOSU]

Just about any whiskey that's not Michter's, Basil Hayden, or Bulleit, is gonna be much better 😅

[@20jcontra]

I like mine the same way but I add 3/4 oz of grand mariner because I really like the orange flavor

[@anthonyavila4027]

Wow that was awesome

[@yalitza77able]

I enjoy my old fashion with knob creek rye , 2 dashes of orange bitters, simple syrup, clear ice ball. And i like to cut an orange 🍊 peel to rim the glass and leave it in my glass lol

[@MrJayZand]

Two parts bourbon (or whiskey of choice) one part grand marnier, a drop of orange or angostura bitters, mix (and smoked if possible) add an ice block give it a good mix and enjoy.

[@wow-0-why-1]

I like that there was no muddling, but I don't do cherry in my old fashions, and orange peel is essential. But I would definitely try that version out.

[@calebhudson2233]

Angostura bitters, bourbon or rye, honey muddled with orange wedge.

[@dawildcatz87]

I start with adding a sugar cube, orange slice, aromatic bitters, and muddling it together. Then add ice cube, cherry with juice, and pour over with a 5 year Missouri Rye that was finished for 10 days in a Norton wine barrel 👌

[@alexanderdrywall3043]

Looks delicious

[@ericepperson8409]

I’ll increase the portions to 2.5 oz Whiskey/Rye. 3/4 oz. Rich Demerara Syrup. Then do a dash of Angostura bitters and a couple dashes of orange bitters. Gotta get the spoon of cherry juice, then the cherry with more juice. Finish with a spray of Orange Blossom water.

[@braindust7523]

Sounds great

[@ckrazy813]

I like that combo however the inexpensive way to do it is 4 roses bourbon cranberry/cherry juice with a splash of OJ … it’s really good and easy

[@netterjeff4013]

I’m not much for smoke. Prefer it for meats not drinks. Granular sugar ‘cause I like the grittiness at the end. Couple dashes each of Orange and regular bitters. The only cherry is the Luxardos and a bit of the juice is a must. I stir it in a mixing glass and pour it over the rock in the tumbler.

[@Harvxey]

Woodford Double Oaked, maple syrup, black walnut bitters, maplewood smoke

[@jsaz6661]

I keep it simple, sugar cube, 4 dashes od Angostura bitters, 2 dashes orange bitters and muddle. 2 oz whatever bourbon you're into at the time, ice ball, then the cherry and orange peel.
