Old Fashioned Cocktail

[@haroldbeck4351]

That guy's choppers are supernaturally perfect.

[@wesleyrichardson2953]

😅😅😅

[@rmburkettjr030]

I started out with the sugar cube but then switched to making simple syrup. I feel like it mixes better into the cocktail. Later on I discover making flavored simple syrup with orange zest. It saved me from buying the orange bitters. I encourage everyone to try it once.

[@cernanwinterfox85]

Sounds good, but it begs the question of what makes a drink. Id say the muddling sugar is main thing that distinguishes an old fashioned, so what you described isnt one, but instead a lowball of your own creation which should get its own name. Definitely going to give it a try though sounds like the perfect end of the day tasty low effort no mess drink.

[@rmburkettjr030]

@@cernanwinterfox85 okay dude spoken like a prima donna who thinks they know better. Cocktails are about how you want it. The fact you won’t even try and see if my way mixes better proves my point… I have other theories about why This is so personal to you but I’ll keep them to myself 👍🖕

[@sassytabasco]

I already used simple syrup, but man, great idea about the orange zest. I'll have to try that.

[@arielborja1486]

I do feel like muddling the sugar is better than using simple syrup because not all of the sugar dissolves which makes the cocktail build its sweetness upon drinking. Making it a better experience ti enjoy the cocktail different from adding simple syrup which will make the cocktail sweeter almost instantly ( givin a feeling of just drinking whiskey with sugar 🤮) ofc adding the oils from the orange ti hive the cocktail an aroma and add cítrics is a great idea tho.

[@nicholasmurgolo6905]

@@arielborja1486 agreed. It’s not a classic old fashioned otherwise. Doesn’t mean it’s not a good drink; I’m sure it is. But if I’m not tasting the sugar in the drink then it’s not an old fashioned

[@grantrobinson8179]

I like to use maple syrup as my sweetener. It brings more flavours into play and complements the orange better than a sugar cube.

[@theghostofsw6276]

I never used to drink until I saw this video....gotta admit, an old fashioned is pretty tasty. Been drinking them daily (at first) then multiple times a day. Got let go at my job last week too....that's OK it just means more "Old Fashioned" time for me. Is my liver supposed to hurt though?

[@smudge7057]

Well stop kidding will ya and make us some drinks. I mean just press the button back there marked booze!

[@SofiaPenaDeleuze]

Unfortunately it is possible to have too much of a good thing

[@Jewelz2384]

The flamed orange is a must. I've made a few old fashions lately and Monday was the first time I tried the orange trick but I flamed it with my brulee torch and did the rim of the glass and it added so much richness and depth to the cocktail. I've added cherries but the normal maraschinos and I use vanilla simple syrup instead of the sugar cube but it's so good I need to get the bitters and want to try either the Luxardo cherries or the Filthy brand liquor soaked cherries. Payday can't come soon enough.

[@ellietmch]

Luxardos are worth the price

[@1911Earthling]

I learned how to mix a old fashioned on this channel. I perfected it to my taste. And what a pleasure to whip up my own delicious cocktail. All the advice was wonderful as I was a complete novice. It’s such a treat I keep the ingredients at hand and can whip one up in a heartbeat. It’s fun making one at home to enjoy with music or food. To enjoy slowly. I never thought I would develop a taste I can understand now the sublime tastes of different whiskies and bourbon. I can mix the exact amount I want and know my limit. Thank for the advice. Very cool.

[@JonLondrezos]

I must have had an old fashioned in 20 different places - each made differently - and each tasted amazing. It's my favourite drink, together with a straight forward vodka martini.

[@PashaV93]

I just love this dude. Anything he prepares makes you want to go and make it yourself. I have never been a drinker but I tasted the Old Fashioned I got hooked, specially with that cherry 🍒

[@chozen_juan]

Im on board with all of this except putting sugar cubes in my drink. Im drinking enough poison as is. Absolutely zero reason to add sugar.

[@justvibingtomusic]

So you just want orange whiskey then lol@@chozen_juan

[@rehmatlokhandwala3627]

One of the most beautiful combinations ever. No wonder the old fashioned is gold. I'm salivating after the flavors.

[@ScottAnders62]

I love how much fun you're having with this!

[@jefferyneu3915]

I believe the Luxardo Cherry is nearly essential for this cocktail

[@oliverrose8872]

My first old fashioned was without the cherry but my second was with and, as someone from Vegas, the cherry really added some flavor that completely changed the drink. I loved it either way, but if I were to make it at home, I would for sure add the cherry. Thank you for the video 🙏🏼 Can't wait to make this at home!

[@melindaking7944]

He is actually not using bourbon, he's using Bulleit 95 rye...I love this whiskey, it makes an amazing old fashioned. Cheers 🥃

[@dglesterhardunkichud4017]

Rye is the way to go!

[@alli1025]

Everyone in my family loves this Cocktail. Thank you, Preppy Kitchen 💯 Cheers

[@kimbwf629]

I really enjoy your cocktail videos.

[@juliehernandez80]

"...and change. Don't tell anyone. It's our secret". So classy and cool.

[@GrandmasterMelleMel]

Made it last nite for some guests I had over. It was a hit! Especially with the luxurardo cherries. Truly the cherry on top no pun intended. Lol. Thank you so much! Never liked bourbon but I'm now a bourbon fan!

[@trevorgiordano3294]

I recently started making these as well and I actually like using the four roses bourbon 👍🏻

[@Bluemgwes]

Four Roses Bourbon is so damn good! Better than the single barrel and small batch surprisingly!

[@alahatim]

can't go wrong with 4 roses!!!! good call people

[@jtalaski820]

I like the cherry add on. And I prefer it with sugar cube vs. simple syrup. Good job buddy..

[@connormichelleotoole5774]

Lmao I love the huge sound effect of glass breaking when you toss that tiny orange peel to the side 😂😂😂

[@uncc1296]

I don't drink but I so very much enjoy your videos that I am enlightened and educated nonetheless!

[@coll8ctor]

i did work at a bar and yet no one ever ordered an old fashion nor was I told on how to mix one... I like the cherry, the heating of the peel is fantastic, thank u !!!

[@szamee83]

Wow.. flaming the orange peel took it to another level. I used Laphroaig Quarter Cask for a bit of smokiness. Thanks for the recipe my dude!

[@Pamela_chu79]

Omg.. this is my favorite drink of all time . 🥰🥰

[@TheSuperwireman]

Love the enthusiasm and perfect recipe!

[@brtnbd739]

Sugar cube, luxardo cherry, orange, bitters. Muddle. I take out the orange skin. Add Ice then the bourbon. Give it a good stir and it’s amazing

[@WendyWilliamsLiving]

Luxardo cherry is a MUST!!! Fabulous, going to make an Old Fashioned now :-)

[@WilliamAndScout]

Always relaxing to watch.your Program.

[@apurvadarshmishra3293]

I made my first cocktail with all the ingredients that you used. I am absolutely loving it.

[@Soulless0815]

"add the bourbon" - adds rye

[@guitarlessonsnow3431]

BobOppenheimer yes but rye works well too. Spicier and slightly less sweet.

[@jkoeberlein1]

You can use whiskey too!

[@grapetonenatches186]

Idgaf, at least he used a cube.

[@leaf361]

This triggered me so much.

[@drax14QC]

@@jkoeberlein1 yeah any type of whiskey will work, Rye, Bourbon, Scotch.. it’s really down to personal preference 🥃

[@ChickenChowMein77]

When I was a drinker (and I liked old fashioned) that would've been way too sweet for me. I'd make mine with only *half* a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of water, 2 dashes of angostura bitters, ice and then 2 1/4 oz of wild turkey (or old grand dad or old crow) and stir. No orange peels or any other type of fruit.

[@cashibacamrin]

My daily dose of Happy is here😍

[@michaellivingstone9672]

I loved our mixologist's passion for this iconic cocktail. I used a demarara sugar cube, muddled with Angostura bitters, and two maraschino cherries from Opies of Kent, England. The bourbon? Bulleit, of course!! Flaming the orange peel was a nice pro touch I'll be sure to try next time! ✌️

[@MichaelMaduske]

I didn’t have any sugar cubes so I made this recipe using vodka and orange juice. It came out amazing! Thanks for the recipe!

For low carb, use allulose in place of sugar. It's 70% sweet as sugar and dissolves just as easy on the liquid! Can't notice a difference.

[@nikosr265]

Lmao counting carbs for an old fashioned!?

[@AddictOfLearning]

@@nikosr265 I agree, seems unnecessary

[@DrinkInDigital]

Love the addition of the flamed orange peel for extra dimensions of flavour!

[@evadaly7856]

Tasty with brown sugar gives it that old fashioned flavor 😋

[@chozen_juan]

um no..

[@shannond6684]

Thank you great video this is my favourite drink cheers

[@maryd6506]

Here in Wisconsin, we make the Old Fashioned with Brandy, not whiskey. So if you’re ever in Wisconsin and ask for an Old Fashioned, you’ll get one made with brandy. Yummy!

[@Lalabaster]

Same. with cherry for sure. My fave cockies are bourbon/whiskey based.

[@chinesemassproduction]

the luxardo cherry was a nice touch

[@asaliazamarripa9179]

So glad I found this recipe looks delicious can’t wait to make it

[@ptinne]

"Add the bourbon" proceeds to pour in rye.

[@07thunderhawk]

The luxardo cherry is required! What a beautiful drink

[@IndigoRoses7]

What a charming drink! Never had one, but a beautiful lady I know says it's her absolute favorite drink and I was intrigued since I'd never seen one of these drinks made. I love that there's an interesting story behind how it came to be.

[@agerard5703]

Adding the cherry is almost making a hybrid of a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned. For when you can’t decide which one you want 😊

[@Zytnia64]

Dude awesome video straight to the point and I actually add a little syrup from the cherries too.

[@lifebeginsat4081]

Old Fashion with a cherry is one of my favorites!

[@Nogu3]

I never got the appeal of cherries in an OF, personally I'm more towards the traditional format: Bourbon, anga bitters, sugar/simple and orange rind, not much else is needed to make it good. Maybe I'll try it with a cherry one day though.

[@davidk8497]

That was excellent. The best one I've seen so far!👍

[@turquoisewillow1759]

[@nicholasmurgolo6905]

I appreciate you making it the correct way and then showing your twist. I hate when people make it with simple syrup and claim it’s a classic old fashioned. No, it’s not. You did a fantastic job. And no, I don’t think a cherry is controversial. I sometimes add one too. Great video.

[@rem45acp]

I like to switch it up and make a maple old fashioned. Substitute the sugar cube/water or simple syrup with a teaspoon of real maple syrup. The real stuff has many flavor profiles and complements bourbon well. But I make sure to call it a maple old fashioned!

[@ShellSellars-Smith]

My husbands favorite drink... Always with a Cherry. I just made homemade Bourbon Cherries...

[@Jonsey-lm5sv]

My favorite cocktail too. It is incomplete without the cherry or cherries imho! Just made one, and it turned out perfecto! Cheers! 🥃

[@donmeeker8911]

Buffalo trace instead of bullet rye.. trust me people it does make a difference.

Nice video. Old fashioned is my favorite cocktail. I just recently discovered the Luxardo cherries and they are so much better than regular maraschino cherries. And, yes, the cherry is the final touch for a perfect old fashioned.

[@DrinkInDigital]

Luxardo Cherries win all the awards for best cherries so no wonder they're improving your cocktails!

[@jameslo7143]

Love the drink with the cherry

[@chardtomp]

I've always preferred my Bourbon straight, but my father, who passed away recently liked Old Fashions and Manhattans. I made this one tonight and I have to say it was pretty good. I think I'll have one of these now at least once a week.

[@ted.angell7609]

I was introduced to the Old Fashioned just a year ago and it quickly became my favorite drink. What I love about it is it lets you enjoy the flavor of the whiskey, but softened, sweetened and enhanced with compatible and complementary flavors. Just my opinion, but whiskey and Coke are not compatible; while trying to tone down the bite of straight-up whiskey, you just ruin the flavor of the whiskey and ruin the flavor of the Coke. An Old Fashioned tones it down and makes it better.

[@mrc4912]

Thanks for that, I forgot all about this cocktail in lieu of drinking Manhattans. I'm like you, when I mix a drink, I use lots of 'change'....

[@LeFrench307]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I also like adding a cherry
