Today on Booze On The Rocks I show you how to make the perfect Bourbon Old Fashioned. This cocktail can trace its roots to the classic template of a cocktail from 1806, containing Spirits, Sugar, Water, and Bitters. this basic premise has built a solid foundation for the Old Fashioned and its many variants including this one. Tell me what you think.

There is definitely no need for water in Australia. One minute after making in 40deg C there’s plenty of water from ice

Another cocktail video I missed. How is this possible? This has become my new favorite drink. Yes, I have booted Rum & Coke to the side except on the casino floor. I have totally changed the original to using Orange Bitters and different sweetener's. Maple syrup has been a good option. It was suggested to me on my last Vegas trip to try Orange Marmalade. So yes, that is next. Cheers my friend.

Great video. I do use 1 barspoon of mineral water on the sugar cube this has seemed to enhance the whisk(e) like a little salt in food.

@boozeontherocks 2 года назад

The mineral water is an interesting idea. I can see how it would brighten it up.

@johnnyyungboss 4 месяца назад

this is the best breakdown i’ve seen. what side of the orange peel are you supposed to rim glass with?

@boozeontherocks 4 месяца назад

Thank you. Use the outside skin of the peel. That way it leaves the scent of orange on you hands.

@timbronson1481 9 месяцев назад

I have never tried that. How does it affect the taste?

@timbronson1481 9 месяцев назад

@@boozeontherocks everything's better with bacon 😁 has a really good taste. A nice little variation is to do maple syrup instead of a simple syrup when using the bacon infused bourbon

@UnclePete 2 года назад

I use simple syrup, because I can never get the sugar to dissolve all the way in the glass, and I hate that grainy texture when there are sugar crystals in the bottom. Best cocktail ever obviously

I know the feeling. but it is a great cocktail :)

@irubio016 6 месяцев назад

Thank you very much!! Great video, very informative. I am new to bourbon. How does this bourbon compare to Old Grand Dad High Rye Mash Bill? Which one do you recommend best for the old fashioned? (That is the only one I have tried. Thank you!

@boozeontherocks 6 месяцев назад

Truth be told I have not tried the Old Grand Dad HIgh Rash. I will have to see if I can get some where I live. But personally I like a a high rye Bouron that has some bite to it.

@WeekendBartender 2 года назад

Done exactly perfect! I have never understood why bartenders muddle a whole fruit basket in an old fashioned. And, kentucky bourbon only!!

@boozeontherocks 2 года назад

Thank you,. it must depend on where you are. i know that the Wisconsin old fashioned has fruit and brandy but that is a different type of old fashioned.

@WeekendBartender 2 года назад

@@boozeontherocks I don't know I've been several places where the bartender muddle cherries oranges sugar bitters and a bar spoon of water together. I just have never understood that method.

@afterburner2869 Месяц назад

If by chance you ever make this drink for me, please do not use your bare hands to hold my ice before you put it into my drink. Your hands have been handling money, liquor bottles that has god knows what on them, all kinds of things in the bar area that are not sanitary and whatever else you have acquired on them throughout your shift. It’s unbelievable to me that anyone would even consider using their bare hands for something people will be consuming.

@boozeontherocks Месяц назад

That is a fair point. No Bartender in a bar would ever use their bare hands to make a drink. Even for my freinds I would not do that,

@pcmacintyre 2 года назад

Not a fan of bourbon. Therefore, how to make a perfect Bourbon Old Fashioned? Use Rye (American, not Canadian which isn't rye).

@boozeontherocks 2 года назад

I can see your reasoning. But which Rye do you recommend?

@pcmacintyre 2 года назад

@@boozeontherocks Budget Ryes for me to use are Rittenhouse 100 which is a higher corn rye (only 51% rye mash bill), or Bulleit Rye (MGP 95% rye mash bill). Depends on how much of a rye spice punch I want in my cocktail. I do also like High West's Double Rye and Rendezvous Rye which can be expensive depending on your location.
