Rye Old-Fashioned image

One of the most venerable of whiskey-based cocktails, the old-fashioned has a history that stretches back farther than the martini's. For decades it has suffered under the reputation of something your grandmother drank - overly sweet, fruit-laden and spritzed-up. But grandma wouldn't recognize what's happened to it lately.

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon Demerara sugar
2 ounces rye whiskey
1 or 2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 or 2 dashes orange bitters
1 strip lemon peel

Steps:

  • Spoon sugar into a shaker and add about a teaspoon of very hot water for a simple syrup. Stir until dissolved, adding a little more water if needed.

Overall, I thought this cocktail was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The instructions in this recipe were a bit confusing. I ended up having to look up a video tutorial to figure out how to make the cocktail properly.

I found this cocktail to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup next time.

I wasn't a fan of the rye whiskey in this cocktail. I think I prefer the classic Old Fashioned with bourbon.

This rye Old Fashioned is the perfect drink to sip on a cold night. It's warm and comforting, with a hint of spice from the rye.

I love that this recipe uses rye whiskey instead of bourbon. It gives the Old Fashioned a more complex and interesting flavor profile.

I'm not usually a fan of rye whiskey, but this cocktail totally changed my mind. The bitterness of the rye balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the simple syrup and bitters.
