Ingredients
Method
To begin an old-fashioned cocktail, grab a mixing glass.
Add a teaspoon of sugar and two dashes of bitters into the glass. Next, pour some water.
Using a bar spoon, stir the ingredients thoroughly. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Next, fill the mixing glass with ice cubes. Ice is an essential part of cocktail mixing. It helps in diluting and chilling the ingredients. Ice also helps in enhancing and balancing the flavours of the drink.
Next, using a cocktail jigger or a measuring cup, measure and pour 60ml of Johnnie Walker Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky into the mixing glass.
Stir the ingredients well to combine using a bar spoon. Stir until the surface of the mixing glass feels chilled.
Using a cocktail strainer, strain the mixture into an old-fashioned glass over a fresh block of ice.
Twist a peel of orange over the drink to release its essential oils and finally drop the twist into the glass to garnish.
Serve the old-fashioned cocktail immediately.
