The Old Fashioned Cocktail – as made by Paul from The Stockade Tavern, in Kingston NY. One of my favorite drinks!
Ingredients:
- 1 sugar cube
- 3 oz Rye Whiskey, could use Bourbon too
- 3 shakes Angostura Bitters
- 4 or 5 large ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon water, or club soda
Directions:
- place sugar cube in bottom of cocktail glass, add water and bitters and muddle (mix to dissolve sugar)
- add Rye Whisky and Ice and stir about 20 seconds
- add a twist of lemon, from a little lemon peel. Flavor the rim with a stroke of lemon peel across the glass top, and drop peel into the drink
Cheers!!
