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.
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.
@@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 👍🖕
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.
@@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
I'm 37 and I didn't really start having drinks until earlier this year. I've been kind of looking for a go-to cocktail when I'm out socially and want to have one. I had this one yesterday with the cherry and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm still not a big drinker but it's nice to have something to go to now
Dont drink. You've made it this far no reason to start alcohol in your body. It like using cocaine for the 1st time at 40. Popular common drug, but,just, why?
My all-time fave! I toss in a Luxardo cherry with a splash of the juice. I also add a splash of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur. There are so many variations out there. I hate the ones with soda. I think the large ice is important. Crushed ice waters it down.
I love Luxardo liquer in an old fashioned, but im also partial to a bit of fizz so i like using soda. The trick is not to drown it if your using it directly in the drink, but ideally id say its best served on the side with drink.
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.
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.
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.
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 🍒
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?
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!
I also like to leave a little bit of orange with the peel, and then I'll mud the orange, the bitters and the sugar, just to give a little orange flavor into the drink. And of course. Makers Mark.
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 !!!
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!
Excellent tutorial …flamed orange oil makes all the difference thanks for the great video…only change I made was to use Traegar Smoked simple syrup (that has vanilla and clove) in place of the sugar cube.
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! ✌️
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.
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.
I don't do mixed drinks except occasionally...I'm a beer lady...but, Sir, you are FABULOUS!!!! I LOOOOVE YOUR SMILE...& YOUR PRESENTATION : KEEP IT REAL BABY !!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
I made my with the Stongwater old fashion mix ( from Amazon) Added a Cherry ! I use an old fashion glass and the Big square ice cube ( didn't like the round ice ball). Tasks great! Any suggestions if i make it from scratch? Sugar cube..bitter etc? Thanks
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.
WHY do we love you so much, because you are YOU!!! Thank you for all the wonderful postings, and BTW Old Fashion is my favorite drink too, has been for many years. Same here Luxardo is the way to go.
I made this without the cherry, and used agave syrup--OMG it's just the way I like it! No muddled fruit bits or seltzer water in my drink, just... classic 😎
You were the only video showing how to make a REAL Old Fashion - thank you! NOW SMOKE IT - and make a video :) I'm using your recipe and bourbon barrel chips to see how it works out.
I recently started loving old fashioned (thanks top golf) i bought that same bottle bulleit rye . Was hoping I bought the right bourbon and lo and behold looky here same bottle 😀
I use a mandarine orange slice and maraschino cherry muddled together with 4 splashes of bitters and a teaspoon of sugar. Oh, and brandy is my choice of liquor.
Flaming the orange is something I didn't think would make much of a difference. I was completely wrong ! In my opinion this just made my old fashioned taste better than I've ever had. I highly recommend that everyone try this at least once ! Try making it without rubbing it on the rim, and then try it on the rim. Huge difference and I will absolutely be doing it this way from now on !
I always thought a luxardo cherry was a must.. I muddle the orange peel into the bitters/sugar. Also sometimes ill sub out the sugar cube for some bourbon infused maple syrup and use a bourbon instead of rye YUM. I also tend to fill my rocks glass with regular ice and simply fill it to the brim with whiskey 🤷🏼♂️
I reattempted this today but when the sugar inevitably did not dissolve, I removed the ice cubes and microwaved the drink until hot. The sugar is now dissolved and the drink is in the freezer. I don't know whether I've accidentally removed any of the alcohol in the process, but hopefully I'll end up with a feasible old-fashioned soon.
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.
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.

That guy's choppers are supernaturally perfect.
😅😅😅
I like to use maple syrup as my sweetener. It brings more flavours into play and complements the orange better than a sugar cube.

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.
So you just want orange whiskey then lol@@chozen_juan

Well stop kidding will ya and make us some drinks. I mean just press the button back there marked booze!
Unfortunately it is possible to have too much of a good thing
One of the most beautiful combinations ever. No wonder the old fashioned is gold. I'm salivating after the flavors.
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.

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
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!
Thats a screwdriver
@@2ez87 that's exactly what I was thinking
#sarcasm
😂😂😂😂
I recently started making these as well and I actually like using the four roses bourbon 👍🏻
Four Roses Bourbon is so damn good! Better than the single barrel and small batch surprisingly!
can't go wrong with 4 roses!!!! good call people
I also like to leave a little bit of orange with the peel, and then I'll mud the orange, the bitters and the sugar, just to give a little orange flavor into the drink. And of course. Makers Mark.
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 !!!
He is actually not using bourbon, he's using Bulleit 95 rye...I love this whiskey, it makes an amazing old fashioned. Cheers 🥃
Rye is the way to go!
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!
Excellent tutorial …flamed orange oil makes all the difference thanks for the great video…only change I made was to use Traegar Smoked simple syrup (that has vanilla and clove) in place of the sugar cube.
I like the cherry add on. And I prefer it with sugar cube vs. simple syrup. Good job buddy..
Everyone in my family loves this Cocktail. Thank you, Preppy Kitchen 💯 Cheers
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!
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! ✌️
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.
Lmao counting carbs for an old fashioned!?
@@nikosr265 I agree, seems unnecessary
I love how much fun you're having with this!
Oh yum! Also, how satisfying is that orange peel snap!
Im more of a straight whiskey drinker, but watching this makes me wanna mix it up. Thanks!
Same here! The only thing other than straight whiskey i’ll drink is a jack and coke. This caught my interest for sure though.
i see what you did there
As am I. I prefer straight. But, this is just a classic.. and so simple..
"...and change. Don't tell anyone. It's our secret". So classy and cool.
Love the addition of the flamed orange peel for extra dimensions of flavour!
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.
Always used simple syrup but am going to try it with a sugar cube. I always use either a Luxardo cherry or homemade bourbon soaked cherries

I made my first cocktail with all the ingredients that you used. I am absolutely loving it.
I believe the Luxardo Cherry is nearly essential for this cocktail
I don't drink but I so very much enjoy your videos that I am enlightened and educated nonetheless!
The cherry makes it that much better. I love the added cherry.
I don't do mixed drinks except occasionally...I'm a beer lady...but, Sir, you are FABULOUS!!!! I LOOOOVE YOUR SMILE...& YOUR PRESENTATION : KEEP IT REAL BABY !!!
Lmao I love the huge sound effect of glass breaking when you toss that tiny orange peel to the side 😂😂😂
Try one with Jameson Irish Whiskey, sugar cube, bitters, cherry, orange peel, and some B&B liquor. Amazing. Cheers!
I was with you until you added B&B.
Luxardo cherry is a MUST!!! Fabulous, going to make an Old Fashioned now :-)
Thank you great video this is my favourite drink cheers
Same. with cherry for sure. My fave cockies are bourbon/whiskey based.
My favorite cocktail too. It is incomplete without the cherry or cherries imho! Just made one, and it turned out perfecto! Cheers! 🥃
John, that's rye, not bourbon pal.
He means add bourbon if you like that but he used rye
"add the bourbon"
- adds rye
BobOppenheimer yes but rye works well too. Spicier and slightly less sweet.
You can use whiskey too!
Idgaf, at least he used a cube.
This triggered me so much.
@@jkoeberlein1 yeah any type of whiskey will work, Rye, Bourbon, Scotch.. it’s really down to personal preference 🥃
Omg.. this is my favorite drink of all time . 🥰🥰
Tired this method and it was bang on, way better than another I tried and I highly recommend using a Rye Whisky.
My daily dose of Happy is here😍
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!
We call it the Atlanta Old fashion with the cherry and orange peel. Delicious I favorite!
Love the enthusiasm and perfect recipe!
I really enjoy your cocktail videos.
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.
Luxardo Cherries win all the awards for best cherries so no wonder they're improving your cocktails!
Thank you for using my Angostura Bitters from my country 🇹🇹 🇹🇹 🇹🇹 Trinidad and Tobago it goes well with everything
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.

So glad I found this recipe looks delicious can’t wait to make it
Buffalo trace instead of bullet rye.. trust me people it does make a difference.
Blantons, eagle rare, weller, or eh Taylor.
Fucking small batch taylor right now and it's fantastic
Same recipe but add a couple dashes of black walnut bitters to it too. Even better!
Thankyou for this. Your recipe made most sense of all the recipes i saw. Thanks boss!! ♥️
Dude awesome video straight to the point and I actually add a little syrup from the cherries too.
A cherry is a must for me. Specially if you're drinking itbwith someone that never had one.
Old Fashion with a cherry is one of my favorites!
Always relaxing to watch.your Program.
I made my with the Stongwater old fashion mix ( from Amazon) Added a Cherry ! I use an old fashion glass and the Big square ice cube ( didn't like the round ice ball).
Tasks great!
Any suggestions if i make it from scratch? Sugar cube..bitter etc?
Thanks

finally tried it!! (with Jim bourbon) and it's great,, wish youtube let us post pics, thanks anyway
I have too add a cherry as well. Love Old Fashioneds . Will need to try using flame on the orange peel.
Love this cocktail! I prefer simple syrup to the sugar cube and I use about 3 cherries! Love the cherries! 😁👍
I realize your comment is a year old, but I'm just seeing it now. Try a table spoon of the marachino cherry juice instead of the simple syrup 🤌
@@kriskowalczyk7933 Mmm. Might have to try that. Sounds good!
That is exactly how I like my OF! With the cherry too!
Great video! your energy is awesome... I smiled the entire time.
I made this for my family on holiday and it was a hit! Love your presentation style. Subscribed 👍
Bro u are making me a better bartender than I am alreadt thx so much wow
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 😊
Tasty with brown sugar gives it that old fashioned flavor 😋
um no..
WHY do we love you so much, because you are YOU!!!
Thank you for all the wonderful postings, and BTW Old Fashion is my favorite drink too, has been for many years.
Same here Luxardo is the way to go.
Every maraschino cherry I've had has a nasty fake chemical taste. Every brand. Used to like them and now I won't touch them.
I made this without the cherry, and used agave syrup--OMG it's just the way I like it! No muddled fruit bits or seltzer water in my drink, just... classic 😎
This recipe is fantastic it worked great for me thank you so much
The luxardo cherry is required! What a beautiful drink
Your videos make me so happy, I wish I could taste everything you make!
You were the only video showing how to make a REAL Old Fashion - thank you! NOW SMOKE IT - and make a video :) I'm using your recipe and bourbon barrel chips to see how it works out.
I like to muddle the cube and bitters with some of the luxardo syrup, love the flavors that adds
We need a Mezcal cocktail... I had a Tamarindo/Mezcal margarita on the rocks, sooo delicious!
Great instructional 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏 looks absolutely magnificent 👍
I recently started loving old fashioned (thanks top golf) i bought that same bottle bulleit rye . Was hoping I bought the right bourbon and lo and behold looky here same bottle 😀
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'....
I use a mandarine orange slice and maraschino cherry muddled together with 4 splashes of bitters and a teaspoon of sugar. Oh, and brandy is my choice of liquor.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I also like adding a cherry
Flaming the orange is something I didn't think would make much of a difference. I was completely wrong ! In my opinion this just made my old fashioned taste better than I've ever had. I highly recommend that everyone try this at least once ! Try making it without rubbing it on the rim, and then try it on the rim. Huge difference and I will absolutely be doing it this way from now on !
Hi !
I have just tried this today and it is one of the most beautiful ❤️ drinks I have ever drank 🍷! Can I make it with Southern Comfort?
"Add the bourbon" proceeds to pour in rye.
I always thought a luxardo cherry was a must.. I muddle the orange peel into the bitters/sugar. Also sometimes ill sub out the sugar cube for some bourbon infused maple syrup and use a bourbon instead of rye YUM. I also tend to fill my rocks glass with regular ice and simply fill it to the brim with whiskey 🤷🏼♂️
The LUXARDO cherries are heavenly!!!!
I reattempted this today but when the sugar inevitably did not dissolve, I removed the ice cubes and microwaved the drink until hot. The sugar is now dissolved and the drink is in the freezer. I don't know whether I've accidentally removed any of the alcohol in the process, but hopefully I'll end up with a feasible old-fashioned soon.
Try making simple syrup. I use it for just that reason.
That was excellent. The best one I've seen so far!👍
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.
My husbands favorite drink... Always with a Cherry. I just made homemade Bourbon Cherries...
Tried it with Buffalo trace bourbon. New favorite
