dosequisxx: A quick tip: make sure you stir instead of shake. Shaking may look cooler, and yea they do it in shows and movies, but shaking bitters turns cocktails cloudy and unappealing.
Dank_Meems: Doesn’t a classic OF have orange, not lemon?
CocktailChem: **[Full recipe and bonus recipes](http://www.cocktailchemistrylab.com/home/ode-to-old-fashioned)**
This is the first of four videos paying homage to the Old Fashioned, the world’s first classic cocktail and a recipe that’s endured for hundreds of years.
Oh and if you want to know how I make clear ice at home, [here’s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUHcCHbgX_o) my tutorial.
Cheers

FrostFire131: Wisconsinite here, needs brandy
Beardgang650: My gf puts a napkin over the glass, places sugar cube on it and dash’s the bitters on napkin & cube. Then she removes the napkin then smashes the cube in the glass. That’s how she was taught and she makes some damn good cocktails
buttholesunset: The best part of these videos is when he drinks, and does the satisfying nod of approval after.
Gooflactus: So, why use a muddled sugar cube and not simple syrup?
Nexavus: I prefer the real Old Fashioned. https://youtu.be/8Lf4qFL9nGU
zanzertem: Subtle, yet solid sip reaction. Approved
kramjr: Wow first time I’ve seen one of these gifs that doesn’t include some pretentious ingredient that no one has. Well done!
Nesrynn: >ice so clear it could be a Scientologist.
This made my day thanks
DropPoint44: Arrrggh, I haven’t had an old fashioned in a long time… I’m tired…

bradmann16: What if I only have a large green ice cube?
DepressedMonkei: The most manly mixed drink
joker191: To add some more info the friuted version(maraschino cherry and orange slice muddled)of this drink which has been mentioned was brought about during the roaring 20’ s by vogue but the classic is what we see demonstrated above.
yank_deas: Where’s my fucking cherry
schaef_me: We make them a little differently at my bar… 4-5 dashes ango, mix in mixing glass with ice, pour into glass with no ice. Wipe orange slice and drop. Add a maraschino cherry on a toothpick if you’d like to drop that in as well.
Adios_Pantalones: Where’s the oooooooooh ya ya ya ya ya?
enzo32ferrari: Needs a cherry
Chadbchill: what does “ice so clear it could be a scientologist” mean
fnhs90: Nice pecs
