    i luv this channel. please be aware, if you don't muddle any fruit, the drink is 2.5 ozs of whiskey, sugar, bitters, and (filtered!) water. Be sure and use at least part brown sugar. If you choose to muddle the fruit (like i do, 2 half orange slices, 3 cherries) you will get a more complex tasting drink, with an equally complex color, like don draper in season 5 (and beyond, hopefully) who found monogamy and, get this, is happier, as you will be with this more complex drink.

    • @skybarwisdom
      @skybarwisdom 9 місяців тому

      I don't believe you need to muddle orange slices and cherries into an Old Fashioned. I do believe that adding an orange and lemon slice spritzed and rimmed would be sufficient.

    • @JacStance
      @JacStance 9 років тому

      petebarnabus It's spelled Whiskey in North America and Ireland, Whisky pretty much everywhere else. Also, it's not so simple as that. Scotch is whisky that is made in Scotland, but it must pertain to specific rules regulated by law. Blended Scotch is a blend of other Scotches of different age and flavor, but it must be Scotch. You can't blend Scotch with Irish Whiskey and call it a Blended Scotch.

    • @floofytown
      @floofytown 8 років тому

      +nick datukashvili As far as I know, Scotch (and Irish whiskey too) is made from 100% barley mash. I suppose you can use whatever you like, but I'd guess that the sweet corn and sharp rye flavors of American whiskeys will take to sugar and citrus much better than the relatively dry, quiet and earthy flavor of malted barley.

Next add your ice, pour brandy over the ice add soda and mix garnish with cherry and a orange slice.

    • @Just_A_Dude
      @Just_A_Dude 8 років тому

      +TheDanielCorp The original 19th-century recipe is as follows:
      Dissolve a cube (1tsp) of Sugar in a whiskey glass with small amount of water.
      Add two dashes of Angostura bitters.
      Add a small piece of ice and a piece of lemon peel.
      Pour one jigger (2oz) whiskey.
      MIx with a small bar-spoon and serve with the spoon still in the glass.
      This video isn't too far off, except for adding some brown sugar and a dash of citrus bitters rather than letting the ice bruise the lemon peel.
      In short, the Old-Fashioned has been edited, warped, manipulated, and changed by regional trends to the point that there are several distinctly different drinks by that name.
