Tips:

  • Choose the right bourbon: A good Maker's Mark Old Fashioned starts with a good bourbon. Look for a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Old Fashioned will taste. Use fresh orange slices, lemon slices, and cherries.
  • Don't over-muddle: When you muddle the ingredients, you want to release their flavors without making the drink too bitter. Muddle the ingredients gently and for no more than 10 seconds.
  • Add simple syrup to taste: Simple syrup is used to sweeten the Old Fashioned. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Garnish with a twist of orange or lemon: A twist of orange or lemon adds a refreshing citrus flavor to the Old Fashioned.
