Classic and simple. The Old Fashioned is an original that has stood the test of time. I'll show you how to make restaurant quality clear ice, two types of simple syrup, how to make the orange peel garnish and you'll even learn some history! I'll show you how to make the Old Fashioned cocktail using five types of sugar.

The Classic Old Fashioned
1 sugar cube
2 dashes of angostura bitters
1 bar spoon of water (I use distilled water 1/4 tsp up to 1 teaspoon)
1.5 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey (you can also use the spirit of your choice such as, a dark rum)
1 large ice cube or 3-5 smaller ice cubes
1 orange peel garnish
1 cocktail cherry (optional)
