Cut Cask Old Fashioned
A classic way to pretend you're fancy with great taste.
MAKE IT!
Ingredients
- 2 oz. Red Rocks Cut Cask Whiskey
1 sugar cube (or ½ tsp simple syrup)
2–3 dashes Angostura bitters
1 tsp plain water (optional, if using a sugar cube)
1 wide strip orange peel, for garnish
Ice (one large cube preferred)
Optional: 1–2 Luxardo cherries for garnish
Directions
- Place the sugar cube in the bottom of your kickass glass. Add the bitters directly onto the sugar cube and a dash of water to help dissolve it. Muddle them together into a paste using a muddler or the back of a spoon.
Pour in the Red Rocks Cut Cask Whiskey and stir to combine the ingredients. Fill the glass with a large ice cube or sphere.
Stir the drink as if bathing a baby bird until it is well-chilled.
Take the orange peel and twist it over the glass to release its essential oils onto the drink's surface. Rub the peel along the rim of the glass, then drop it into the drink.
Add an optional Luxardo cherry and show off to your uncivilized friends.
