The Old Fashioned is concocted by muddling sugar with bitters, adding whiskey with a twist of citrus rind garnish.

You’ll need:

• 2 tea spoons of demerara sugar
• A dash of Bitter Truth aromatic bitters
• An orange rind for twisting
• 60ml Woodford Reserve bourbon whiskey
• Ice cubes

Now, let’s get to it:

1. Grab your old fashioned glass and add 2 x teaspoons of the sugar
2. Add a dash of bitters
3. Twist your orange rind to release (or activate) the juice and pop the rind into the mixture
4. Next, add 25ml of bourbon whiskey
5. Add an ice cube and stir
6. Repeat: add another 25ml bourbon whiskey, ice & stir
7. Repeat step 6
8. For the final time, repeat step 6. So, you have used your full 60ml of bourbon whiskey
9. Add ice to your main serving glass
10. Then strain your mixture over ice
11. Twist another orange rind, pop it in and serve
