COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK: A CLASSIC OLD FASHIONED

28/8/2020

0 Comments

 
To celebrate the launch of The Alchemist Cheltenham (opening in The Brewery Quarter tonight), we have stolen their recipe for a Classic Old Fashioned. 

You can try this at home but believe us, if you head to the bar itself, there will be lots of theatre and a cracking atmosphere. 

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

Getting 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. Repeat step 6 for the final time. 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.
