The old fashioned is a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters and water, adding bourbon, and garnishing with orange twist or zest and a cocktail cherry. Developed during the 19th century and given its name in the 1880s, it is an IBA Official Cocktail.
Place a sugar cube in a tumbler and saturate with the aromatic bitters.
Add a few dashes of plain water and muddle until the sugar is dissolved.
Fill the glass with ice.
Pour in the bourbon and stir gently.
Garnish with the orange wheel and maraschino cherry.
