I'm here because of Don Draper. Admittedly, many years ago I learned how to make one in bartending school, but my whole time behind the bar I never had the chance to make a real one. So I forgot the recipe, it just so happened that I was at a watering hole a couple days ago and I got a hankering for one, but the bartender said that she had only made one in her entire life tending. So the next time I stopped in the place I'm going to have this memorized so that I can refresh her memory.
Yeah that one youtube clip with Don and the bar tender. Whats funny is that I knew someone would post a comment like yours before checking the comments
This was amazing. Apart from the use of simple syrup instead of sugar cubes, this is textbook. To prevent sugar granules, put your sugar in the glass, put 2-3 dashes of bitters, and mix til you have a syrup. Regardless, the taste is almost identical. You saved youtube
I like to pop one whole maraschino cherry in with the orange peel instead of the lemon peel. For me it adds a nice sweetness and is a tart finish after sitting in the drink.
Similar to "I'm just gonna garnish this with two kiwi slices that I reserved" - and they sink directly to the bottom of the glass never to be seen again. "Beauuuutiful!"
Use a teaspoon of brown sugar instead of simple sugar. My favorite rye to use is Crown Royal Northern Harvest, but I'm on a budget so use Old Overholdt most weeks. If you don't have Luxardo cherries don't bother with the nasty Maraschino ones at the store.
Dang. I wanted the Luxardo ones but wasn’t there and got the ones at store. It was good to me though. What would you say is the difference with the cherries you got at the store and the Maraschino ones if you could remember from 5 years ago lol
FINALLY someone who makes an Old Fashioned the way it should be made. Muddled fruit destroys the cocktail making it way too tart and bitter. Excellent video.
Excellent. Cocktail making is known to be a science, and not just because of its magical powers to uplift moods all over. But, add the right music in the background and you have the mood to relax and enjoy the day!
Rye whiskey was cheaper and more prevalent in the 1800s. Honestly I don't think many had a choice in the 1800s between rye and bourbon. He is correct in that the muddling was probably introduced to the old fashioned during the Prohibition, not because people liked sweeter drinks, but bartenders wanted to disguise the taste of the substandard alcohol or even the fact that it might not even be alcohol that was being served.
I love Old Fashioneds and this video is my gold standard for making them. Thank you for making this video and teaching me how to make a great Old Fashioned....and I agree...the Orange Bitters are KEY! That said, one thing about this video had made me scratch my head for years....I have never figured out why, when you are putting ice into the mixing glas, you grab the ice with your hand...put it in the metal cup, then tip the ice into the mixing glass...using your hand to control the ice as it falls into the mixing glass. What is the point of putting it in the metal cup then pouring it into the mixing glass??? Why not just put the ice straight into the mixing glass??? (which is what I do) But I love this video (and all your other drink mix videos) anyway :)
Dilution. When you shake it with the ice, your mixing it together and making it cold. Then you pour it into a glass with a big piece of ice to keep it cool whilst you are drinking it.
One of my favorite stiff drinks! I didn't realize that the muddling was a recent (or relatively recent) change, thanks for that cool tidbit! I'm going to try it your way...if I can find me some kosher orange bitters
Have to admit, not a fan of the Rye or the non-muddling. I like Bourbon, gives a sweeter, more smokey flavor. And I like the muddling because it releases the aroma of the fruit.
This guy is very beautiful...and he explains everything so well....great video. One of my favorite cocktails...and yes, orange bitters are worth looking for, there is nothing like that flavor in certain cocktails.
Great video. Have you tried using maple syrup (the real stuff, not the make-believe) as the sweetener? Works great. I live in the NY area. Where do you tend bar. Me and the Mrs. will make the trip just to try your way better than average mixology.
I prefer to mix everything in a shaker tin muddle a cherry and orange wedge to get the juices out and oils from the peal shake on ice 20 sec. Then strain into a chilled glass with a large ice puck while everything else you mentioned stays the same. Try it and enjoy!
Sub orange bitters for 2 more dashes of regular bitters and GENTLY muddle an orange zest. Also try flaming an orange peel on-top with no lemon peel for a bit of flare and a great smell.
Skuller74 the original recipe for the Whiskey Cocktail in 1862 calls for gum syrup. Most recipes used gum syrup or simple syrup. They didn't have sugar cubes.
Manhattan 71 is correct. The first published recipe (1862) uses sugar syrup and not a sugar cube. There is no need to add that extra step of muddling a sugar cube with water into the glass (essentially making sugar syrup in the glass) when you can use pre-dissolved sugar. Quick, easy, consistent AND the original way. Great video.
I like to use 3 to 4 dashes of just orange bitters in mine..Also I prefer to muddle the bitters, water and sugar cube method, it just feels a lil more authentic..I try to stay away from simple syrup as much as possible..
You need to up your ice game to clear ice. Holds the temps even longer and doesn’t melt nearly as fast as that cloudy ice you got. Also a lemon doesn’t belong. Orange peel only. Classic sugar cube is that way to go and putting a nice luxardo cherry on top adds a nice flavor touch
For the Measurements: 2 ounces Rye Whiskey 1 bar spoon of simple syrup 2 dashes Angostura Bitters 2 dashes Orange Bitters as garnish: orange peel, I think.
I well aware I'm not doing a classic when muddling a small piece of orange in there, but with the rye, it's just so damn good. Get a rye bomb too, not just "a" rye whisky. One that almost smells and taste like rye bread. Lot 40 isn't bad.
a 1970s Chinese Restaurant Old Fashioned......2 shots of rye, orange bitters, angostura bitters, sugar, ice cubes, top off with ginger ale, garnish with slice of orange, lemon and cherry
Is there even any right way to make an old fashioned? I feel like any tutorial or any video showing you how to make one will get a good amount of people hating on it saying "no that's not an old fashioned... THIS is how you make it" whether it's muddle the fruit, don't muddle the fruit, use a cube, use a brown cube, use bourbon, no use rye, use a lemon peel, don't use a lemon feel. I mean I think it's safe to say everyone has there own version of this cocktail.
Yea it has clearly evolved over time. The original recipe is probably considered to be the "right way." Dissolve (or muddle to save time) a sugar cube (Demerara sugar cube, but minor detail) in a little bit of water. That should be the only muddling you do. Add Angostura Bitters (2 dashes). I think Rye whiskey was the original, but either rye or bourbon are fine. Orange, lemon, and ice are all optional. Very simple drink - easy to adjust and make to your liking.
This guy mixed traditional and modern, he didn't muddle the fruit but also didn't muddle the sugar. A traditional old fashioned you definitely soak a demerara sugar cube in angostura bitters, add a teaspoon of water and muddle until the sugar is completely dissolved, then twist a bit of lemon peel and orange peel in and add 2 oz of rye whiskey. There is no proper version of an old fashioned that uses simple syrup, any other twist on the old fashioned is fine, but simple syrup is a sin, fresh muddled sugar is the only way to go.
+Beta4Life - _"There is no proper version of an old fashioned that uses simple syrup"_ .. Except that the oldest known recipe from 1862 calls for a sugar syrup (aka simple syrup). Soo, you were saying??
TheMrVengeance Exactly. Jerry Thomas was the first to publish the recipe for the Whiskey Cocktail which called for gum syrup...obviously they didn't use perfectly cut sugar cubes in 1862 Beta4Life.
Great video, great recipe, loved hearing the history, but when he hand bombed that ice I face palmed. You're a cocktail expert and don't have an ice scoop??
The only thing I am taking from this video is him using his hands to scoop the ice. I bet that's the last time he does that. Also, lemon? Nope. Aside from those, great job!
When using citrus bitters it's great just for the look of the cocktail, but if you follow the traditional methods it's great to use the citrus oils for that extra layer of flavour and aroma!
At the times where there was no bourbon whiskey... that would be rye but hardly anyone was intentionally maturing at the time so if it at best would spent few weeks or months in wood, closes thing is rye vodka, not extensively matured woody rye whisky made in US.
I'm against the overuse of muddled fruit, but muddling a bit of orange peel is perfectly valid, especially when you don't have orange bitters on hand. Funny how this guy cites history to justify his method, and then whips out a frozen glass. Because all bars had frozen glasses in the pre-Prohibition era...
Jesse Sun The orange bitters thing was the worst considering that was not invented until 2006 I think. Not muddling the orange peel is saying "hey I'm too lazy to peel and muddle". Also considering the Old Fashioned has water already in it (couple of dashes at least) before you even drink it makes the frozen glass even more pointless.
Jeremy Hale Actually no, that's when the Bitter Truth made them readily available. They were around since the 1800s, even mentioned in the Jerry Thomas How to Mix Drinks book.
I've seen already several videos about old fashioned and in all of the mm in their comment section people are complaining that the video sucks and saying that's not the way ti make an old fashioned. Everyone is an expert then

To make this old fashioned even more authentic, I like to contract a dash of syphilis before making it
lol!!!!!!!!
Good ideia, this is too funny man
too right.
haha i had to read this twice
😄
I like the fact that he tells the difference between the old and new recipes, makes it really interesting
Thanks a lot, tastes great! Got tired of paying $11-13 at the bars so this is perfect at my home bar.
'Liked' for a Don Draper reference.
And i came here when he made himself an old fashioned at Sterling's party. Lol
I'm here because of Don Draper. Admittedly, many years ago I learned how to make one in bartending school, but my whole time behind the bar I never had the chance to make a real one.

He's a workaholic.
Here sir 😂
Rye, simple syrup , bitters , lemon/orange spritz . Giant ice puck ....Awesome
Don Draper brought me here.
ESTO VIR
True.
+Enrique Godinez whats true?
gotcha. thanks
Yeah that one youtube clip with Don and the bar tender. Whats funny is that I knew someone would post a comment like yours before checking the comments
Lone Runner he wasnt a bartender chief he was Hilton!
When I make an old fashioned I get a bottle of rye or bourbon, open it, and start to chug. Simple.
This was amazing. Apart from the use of simple syrup instead of sugar cubes, this is textbook. To prevent sugar granules, put your sugar in the glass, put 2-3 dashes of bitters, and mix til you have a syrup. Regardless, the taste is almost identical. You saved youtube
I use your method as well and it's a nice extra step in building the drink.
I like to pop one whole maraschino cherry in with the orange peel instead of the lemon peel. For me it adds a nice sweetness and is a tart finish after sitting in the drink.
"Tell me that doesn't look awesome" he says about an ice cube that we never see.
Exactly
Similar to "I'm just gonna garnish this with two kiwi slices that I reserved" - and they sink directly to the bottom of the glass never to be seen again. "Beauuuutiful!"
I like how he says we’re going to make it the way they did back then and then promptly pulls out a frozen glass from his freezer... lol
I bought a mold from Amazon 🤷🏾♂️
Use a teaspoon of brown sugar instead of simple sugar. My favorite rye to use is Crown Royal Northern Harvest, but I'm on a budget so use Old Overholdt most weeks. If you don't have Luxardo cherries don't bother with the nasty Maraschino ones at the store.
can u tell me ur exact ingredients and measurements with that rye, i have the same
Gotta have brown sugar!
Dang. I wanted the Luxardo ones but wasn’t there and got the ones at store. It was good to me though. What would you say is the difference with the cherries you got at the store and the Maraschino ones if you could remember from 5 years ago lol
For me, making drinks the way they were originally intended is always the way to go. Great job dude!
FINALLY someone who makes an Old Fashioned the way it should be made. Muddled fruit destroys the cocktail making it way too tart and bitter. Excellent video.
Soooooo many places do it. AND THEN they put a bunch of little ice cubes in it..... Way to ruin probably one of the most basic cocktails "bartender"
i like my tart and bitter ... reminds me of my life ;)
That's y at a lot of places I get something like a rum or vodka and Sprite with grenadine. Something u really can't mess up
CAUTION: Angostura Bitters will permanently stain your countertop!. Wipe up any spills immediately!
ressalg thanks for this
^^THIS
My countertops r older than i am so idgaf
Eh. I've got a slab of granite whenever I mix my spirits.
A wave of sheer panic washed over me as realized I had left a drop on a solid wood table.
Rye can be nice in it.
I also use simple syrup and a mixture of both orange and regular bitters.
I smoke mine with a cocktail smoker at the end.
Good choice to use Rye when using multiple forms of bitters, it's more complex and spicy after all and will help balance the bitterness.
"The old fashioned is so old, that a 100yrs ago, they still called it old" LOL that was quite a statement ;)
Lgszb lfeykm

Beautifully put. That method had a resurgence in the 90's. I still make my old fashions this way. Bravo👏
Easily my favourite cocktail of all time! Thanks for the tutorial.
I love Old Fashioneds and this video is my gold standard for making them. Thank you for making this video and teaching me how to make a great Old Fashioned....and I agree...the Orange Bitters are KEY!

Dilution. When you shake it with the ice, your mixing it together and making it cold. Then you pour it into a glass with a big piece of ice to keep it cool whilst you are drinking it.
“I want to keep it as authentic as possible!”
*proceeds to use a chilled glass*
And ice cubes. SMDH

Have to admit, not a fan of the Rye or the non-muddling. I like Bourbon, gives a sweeter, more smokey flavor. And I like the muddling because it releases the aroma of the fruit.
+Mike Reed Are you Dwight Schrute?
The muddling is done now days because most people use sugar cubes, they don’t dissolve well in alcohol.
Use demerara syrup and express the orange over flame. Perfect Old Fashioned
Personally I find brown and demerara in the fall and standard simple in spring and summer,
In Wisconsin we use brandy, but whiskey is good too.
I'm liking Fee Brothers bitters lately.
This guy is good. Calm and informative
Thanks for the post
Braden K your welcome
Brandon Echegaray
*you're
This guy is very beautiful...and he explains everything so well....great video. One of my favorite cocktails...and yes, orange bitters are worth looking for, there is nothing like that flavor in certain cocktails.
The first perfect old fashioned on TH-cam. Good job and cheers.
I went to a bar and they asked me if I wanted olives in my old fashioned. OLIVES
+Kate Pristov and then they would ask if you would like your steak well done... lol
+Kate Pristov omg =\ Olives?
+Kate Pristov Never go back.
were you in Wisconsin? That is actually something we do here.
lol don't knock it till you try it.
This is absolutely the best recipe for this drink.
Great video. Have you tried using maple syrup (the real stuff, not the make-believe) as the sweetener? Works great. I live in the NY area. Where do you tend bar. Me and the Mrs. will make the trip just to try your way better than average mixology.

love the cupcake ice-cube idea!
Sub orange bitters for 2 more dashes of regular bitters and GENTLY muddle an orange zest. Also try flaming an orange peel on-top with no lemon peel for a bit of flare and a great smell.
"I don't like this technique because it isn't how they did it in the 1800s" *uses simple syrup*
I thought the same thing.
Skuller74 the original recipe for the Whiskey Cocktail in 1862 calls for gum syrup. Most recipes used gum syrup or simple syrup. They didn't have sugar cubes.

Quick, easy, consistent AND the original way. Great video.
Skuller74 Sugar and water= Sugar and water. It's just skipping the step of muddling the sugar.
You do realize simple syrup is just sugar in water? that's all it is.
Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry!!!
Looks good! I'd try it with both peels but likely re-vert back to one or the other.
I'm glad your keeping this drink the way it was intended.. classic
great presentation
I use a little honey instead of sugar or syrup. Nice .
Honey is a great replacement for sugar! Try it out with chocolate bitters as well for a more 'dessert' style OF!
I like the muddled orange and cherry. I also like to add a dash of frangelico. I guess it's a "new" fashioned. 😋
You look like a cross between Ashton Kutcher and Adam Scott.
hahahahahaha
You mean he s handsome ok
Your profile picture is Daniel Plainview. Good job.
I can’t unsee it
I kept thinking Adam Scott (watching in 2020)!!!
Not a big fan of Rye pretty much been using bourbon but Irish whiskey works really well if your worried about the sweetness of the Bourbon.
Thank you for the details on the ice cubes...
I like to use 3 to 4 dashes of just orange bitters in mine..Also I prefer to muddle the bitters, water and sugar cube method, it just feels a lil more authentic..I try to stay away from simple syrup as much as possible..
Ordered an old fashioned recently, and the bartender shook it
-_-
lol
Probably the best video of an old fashioned
You need to up your ice game to clear ice. Holds the temps even longer and doesn’t melt nearly as fast as that cloudy ice you got. Also a lemon doesn’t belong. Orange peel only. Classic sugar cube is that way to go and putting a nice luxardo cherry on top adds a nice flavor touch
"What if something happens?!"
"What could happen to an Old Fashioned?"
One of the greatest movies quotes ever, imo.
Hahaha!!!!
Damn straight it is...just like dear old Dad used to.
If you don’t have orange bitters use 2 tsp of Triple Sec. and I prefer mine with 1tbsp weak simple syrup and 5 dashes of bitters.
For the Measurements:
2 ounces Rye Whiskey
1 bar spoon of simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
2 dashes Orange Bitters
as garnish: orange peel, I think.
just an all round classic cocktail
I love making Old Fashioned's
Can you use the same orange on multiple cocktails? Just wondered whether the orange turns bad if you let it be for multiple days without it's peel.
The George Washington closer prompted me to subscribe. Nicely done!
thanks Don:)
I actually wanna try the orange bitters. I’ve been using orange peel on the rim and dropped in the glass
can I use jack daniels???
Jack Daniels is disgusting, go with Bulliet Rye!
I like Four Roses bourbon myself!
I well aware I'm not doing a classic when muddling a small piece of orange in there, but with the rye, it's just so damn good. Get a rye bomb too, not just "a" rye whisky. One that almost smells and taste like rye bread. Lot 40 isn't bad.

Tip: Stop stirring the drink once the glass get cold to prevent over-diluting.
So, I wanted to make this at home for my boyfriend, I don't however have those bitters. Is there an easy replacement or will it be good without?
is it possible to use a different type of bitters instead of angostura?
Don draper got me into this
Orange bitters are usually right next to regular bitters in stores
This is a great recipe i'd just make sure you use no more than .5oz of simple syrup
How are you going to talk about "I don't think this is the most classic way to make it" while adding orange bitters and simple syrup?
No muddled fruit , orange and ango bitters , dem syrup only
Its funny you mentioned Don Draper..:-D..makes me nostalgic and sip an old fashioned right now
Will you be bartender? Oh who am I kidding, I don't go to bars. Will you be my stay-at-home-drink-maker-person?
This is so relevant during the current times
Can you use agave syrup instead of simple syrup?
Where can I find how don draper makes it?
Angostura makes Orange Bitters too
Great video, great recipe, loved hearing the history, but when he hand bombed that ice I face palmed. You're a cocktail expert and don't have an ice scoop??
He's just using tools that you can easily find at home. Not everybody has an ice scoop at home.
The only thing I am taking from this video is him using his hands to scoop the ice. I bet that's the last time he does that. Also, lemon? Nope. Aside from those, great job!
I don't read much in to that. It was for himself.
He sighs before doin it, I think he is aware
I'm new to this drink and was just wondering how necessary the garnish is to the flavor?
When using citrus bitters it's great just for the look of the cocktail, but if you follow the traditional methods it's great to use the citrus oils for that extra layer of flavour and aroma!
Talks about how some techniques like "muddling" werent used in the original recipe, but then uses rye instead of bourbon
Rye whiskey is older than bourbon whiskey, rye was originally used.
eso es lo que dijo
At the times where there was no bourbon whiskey... that would be rye but hardly anyone was intentionally maturing at the time so if it at best would spent few weeks or months in wood, closes thing is rye vodka, not extensively matured woody rye whisky made in US.
Don Draper! I love you man!! The Mainliest Man to ever walk this world!!
2:47 where did he get that orange peel?
flame the orange peel releases the oils
Wouldn't that just burn the oils?
+ZombieLincoln666 it gives the oils a slight smoky accent to the oils. The best way to do this is to use matches and not a lighter.
I am confused, I thought the old fashioned did originate in the late 19th century, around 1880, in Kentucky..?
Don Draper sent me here.
At mb grill we make smokin old fashioned👌🏽🔥
Awesome vid, thanks for posting!!
When I hear "Old Fashioned" I hear "Don Draper" 🥃
i think it taste better with buffalo trace with two slice of orange taste a lil bit better.
I'm against the overuse of muddled fruit, but muddling a bit of orange peel is perfectly valid, especially when you don't have orange bitters on hand. Funny how this guy cites history to justify his method, and then whips out a frozen glass. Because all bars had frozen glasses in the pre-Prohibition era...
lol why u have to be so sore and picking, sorry hes using current technology, and the old fashioned recipe. see what i did there
Jesse Sun The orange bitters thing was the worst considering that was not invented until 2006 I think. Not muddling the orange peel is saying "hey I'm too lazy to peel and muddle". Also considering the Old Fashioned has water already in it (couple of dashes at least) before you even drink it makes the frozen glass even more pointless.
Jeremy Hale Actually no, that's when the Bitter Truth made them readily available. They were around since the 1800s, even mentioned in the Jerry Thomas How to Mix Drinks book.
Donald Draper brought me here. That's right, I just finished Mad Men.
I guess you could call this an old fashioned Old Fashioned. :P
Hilarious, considering I came here minutes after watching the S05E13 finale, where Don Draper orders an old-fashioned at the bar. Quality reference.
Your ice that doesn't look awesome is SUPER cloudy, my man....
I prefer the single cherry and orange wedge in mine for aesthetic reasons, otherwise he made it how I like it.
Check out how we make our Old Fashioned!
I've seen already several videos about old fashioned and in all of the mm in their comment section people are complaining that the video sucks and saying that's not the way ti make an old fashioned. Everyone is an expert then
Seriously this is how I make my old fashioned and it should be the ONLY way to make it! I'll send it back if there is soda water and muddled fruit.
