Old Fashioned

Any Mad Men fans out there?
The Season 6 premiere is less than 2 weeks away, and I am so excited!! I don’t know about you guys, but I always want to drink a snazzy cocktail whenever I watch those handsome men in suits sipping their drinks.
Enter: Old Fashioned

 

Here’s how you make it!

Ingredients
1/2 tsp Sugar
2 oz Bourbon
a few dashes of Bitters
Orange Peel
a splash of water
—
Start with sugar at the bottom of a glass.

 

Add a few dashes of bitters.

 

 

Add an ice cube and a splash of water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
 Add the bourbon. Stir and add more ice.

 

 

Here’s the fun part. Take a piece of orange peel and hold it with the outside facing a flame.

 

Squeeze the orange peel so that oil from the orange sprays out.  When the oils hit the flame, it will look something like this. Pretty sweet, right?!

 

Garnish with that orange peel and serve!

 

Classy enough for Don Draper, no?
