@@sarahm7086 Wisconsin sour. Bitters, tripple sec, Brandy and squirt. Orange and cherries get muddled, no sugar needed. In Wisco a sour is with squirt and sweet is with sprite. Dont ask me why.
for me i do it differently and how i make it also i’m from wisconsin. put the cherries and oranges on bottom with cane sugar put in whatever whiskey/bourbon, muddle it, add ice then put in 7up/sprite/squirt.
exactly. and at no point should there be an orange slice anywhere near that old fashioned. the definition of a cocktail is in itself an old fashioned. sugar, bitters, spirit. what he’s making is a 1940’s old fashioned, think of it as an old fashioned on training wheels for people who lack the palette.
I’ve never seen anyone muddle the orange in an old fashioned. Your supposed to peel it and squeeze the peel in a certain way to get the juice out then you wipe the rim of the glass
If someone only read these comments they leave believing an old fashioned is actually just straight whisky with a touch of sugar and bitters. When in actuality even before the old fashioned got its name it was more of a format for a cocktail and not a specific recipe. Basically any drink that is extremely sprit forward and contains whiskey bitters and sugar can correctly be called an old fashioned. A small amount of juice from a muddled orange wedge isn’t drastically transforming the drink. Especially since this recipe forgoes the splash of water that is normally used to dissolve the sugar. If this isn’t your preferred way of making an old fashioned then fine. But trying to arguing that there is only one ‘correct’ way to make a cocktail with thousands of popular variations and a mostly unknown origin story is ludicrous. And claiming that your preferred way just happens to be that correct way is arrogant. If your argument is that the orange juice hides the subtleties of a good whiskey, well so does sugar and bitters. If you are drinking an expensive whiskey you really shouldn’t be mixing it with anything barring a tiny bit of water or ice.
Right? He was going for what's considered the "modern" old fashioned. Came out after the Prohibition Era, I think. This is how I learned it. And you actually muddle the sugar, bitters, orange and 2 cherries for a "modern" but it's all to taste. I don't why people hate on Johnny Drinks. Lol.
I was taught that old fashioned was always made in a mixing glass... in fact all drinks are mixed in a mixing glass. Unless it's a mojito... I kind of miss bartending
@seymourjames The main reason you use a mixing glass is because the old fashioned will be unbalanced due to the amount of water that is added to the drink during the stirring. People think that mixing with ice is about blending ingredients and the chilling the drink, however with cocktails that do not contain citrus juice (lemon or lime) without about an Oz. of water melted into the drink it will be too boozy or bitter. Putting the old fashioned into a mixing glass with smaller ice pieces (smaller ice have more overall surface area and will melt faster into the drink) will allow the drink to reach the correct balance easier. You could just spin that big ass ice cube forever I guess but no one has time for that and 9 times out of ten the drink will be unbalanced.
There is no fruit muddled in an old fashion. Its sugar, water, bitters, ice, whiskey. You can add fruit as a garnish at the end, but its better without.
Different bars have different standards. The bar I work at we muddle both a cherry and orange rind. Some bars don’t. Not a single customer has complained, and most who order OF’s don’t even like whiskey neat. They’re just looking for a cocktail that doesn’t taste of straight whiskey.
@@ScrantonStranglerFan by adding fruit to the drink, it changes the taste and it's not a standard old fashion. It's something else. Kind of like an apple martini is not a martini.
@@jkn4088 I’m not saying you’re wrong of opinion, but several recipes call for muddling fruit. Several recipes also don’t. It comes down to a matter of standard for the establishment. Ultimately, if you’re concerned about the recipe of your old fashioned, you can simply ask the bartender to correct any concerns.
@@ScrantonStranglerFan if you’re a traditionalist then the only fruit should be the rind of an orange peel. Originally it did not call for muddled fruit, it was muddled sugar to help it dissolve, since we have simple syrup at every bar that gets used instead. Personally I like to make everything how it was originally made when it was invented, unless otherwise requested
I used to get recommended your content all the time and then just stopped one day for quite a while, and I see the overall views on the channel reflects that. Since this got recommended to me, I really hope that's a sign the algorithm wants to pick you guys back up.
The way you remember how to make a Manhattan is the area code of Manhattan (212). Two ounces of whiskey, one ounce of vermouth, and two dashes of bitters
Diff old fash in diff places. Sugar cube or simple syrup, bitters (can use the ag orange if you want), muddle a cherry not orange with these, dbl of a whiskey (alot of ppl use a rye here), then you can use the orange to peel to rub around the rim & garnish. Some ppl float an extra cherry instead.
Manhattan: 2 oz Rye 1 oz sweet vermouth 2 dashes bitters Old Fashion: 2 oz Rye 1 bar spoon syrup 2 dashes bitters No fruit never fruit. I'd prefer my cocktails to stay pulp free thank you.
Don't get me wrong, drink whatever the hell you want and enjoy things how you like them, if you want to make an Old Fashioned with muddled orange, go for it! But at the same time, don't tell people this is how you're supposed to make an Old Fashioned.
Don’t muddle the orange peel. It will extract too much bitterness. The Orange peel should be expressed into the glass, rubbed around the rim and then placed into the drink.
Simple syrup is also the consistent way, for both measuring and incorporating sugar into the drink. Although I usually prefer demarara syrup, or a barrel-aged maple syrup
Paused right away.. a Manhattan is much sweeter An old fashioned gives you much more bourbon/whiskey flavor. Never liked a Manhattan but love old fashions
I can't believe you guys have this few views/comments. You guys offer some impressive advice...anyways, Cheers, Guys!❤ Love and appreciate the content.
NOOOOOOO... There shouldn't be any pulp in an Old fashioned. Why would you muddle the orange? Also is should only be an orange peel after the drink is finished being made.. Muddle orange in my Old fashioned your getting it back
What's the difference between a Manhattan and an old fashioned......? What?? They're not even close. What's the difference between a shoelace and a semi truck..? Hold on, let me show you.
If you gave me that old fashioned i'd be sending it back.
How do you like yours?

No jigger, free pour with no spout, sugar packet and orange slice.. when mom says “we got cocktails at home” 😂
I’ll never understand how a cocktail channel is so popular when you get SO many things wrong
What did he get wrong?
I mean it’s a Wisconsin old fashioned not a traditional old fashioned but it’s kinda still correct seeing as simple syrup is just sugar and water

That old-fashioned would not be consumed.
If you order an OF and you see muddled fruit in the bottom of the glass you know your at the wrong place.
This guy. This guy knows.
You'd be in Wisconsin
I felt violated when he muddled the orange.
@@jcat9100nope
If you order an OF and see anything but the bottom of the glass in the bottom of the glass, you know you're at the wrong place.
There are many ways to make an old fashioned. That is not how I do it because I don't want pulp and sugar crystals
I actually like the sugar crystals in my old-fashioned. So I do prefer to use granulated type sugar. However, I do not muddle the orange.
Gotta chill that martini glass though
clean cups
Muddled the orange? Nasty and ruins it for me. I dont want orange pieces in my $20 OF.
Exactly. You don't want pulp in a fuckin OF.
Defintely don’t muddle an orange in an old fashioned
FBI wouldn't have a hard time getting fingerprints off that glass.
Can I have a clean glass please

Muddled orange in the OF went out years ago. Now it's just the classic, spirits, sugar, and bitters with an orange peel zest and a nice cherry!
So if the recipe changed, isn't that a different drink?
@@alfonsocarnucci3982the muddling was a change that became popular in the 60s. The old fashioned traces its origins to the 1800s.

One is a Manhattan, and one is an Old Fashioned. You’re welcome.
I like my Manhattan on the rocks , perfect!❤
One or two? Oh, I don’t drink😂
Thanks for the video.
Thank you for clarification, seriously.
B...b...but brandy
Manhattan on the rocks is where its at. Shits dope AF
When he says 1 or 2 the answer is always 2
The way you remember how to make a Manhattan is the area code of Manhattan (212).
Two ounces of whiskey, one ounce of vermouth, and two dashes of bitters
If my old fashion doesn’t have cherry I don’t want it
Ugh. I'll just take a beer.
as a bartender, if i see an old fashioned made in the glass and not a mixing tin, im sending that shit back faster than a dog with rabies.
He's beautiful
If he ever loses his ring, won't be able to make any drinks...no tink tink.

Nope. That's not how an old fashioned is made. Sugar (cube or simple), bitters, bourbon (not whisky), ice. No muddled orange. No muddled cherry.
Would that make me laugh uncontrolably at crude things 😂
Gotta use rye in that Manhattan big guy
Muddled fruit in an old fashioned? TRASH!
An OF with muddled fruit is Wisconsin style and should only be made this way in that state. This OF is going back.
So what is the version of an old fashioned where you use muddled cherries?
Manhattan:
2 oz Rye
1 oz sweet vermouth
2 dashes bitters
Old Fashion:
2 oz Rye
1 bar spoon syrup
2 dashes bitters
No fruit never fruit.
I'd prefer my cocktails to stay pulp free thank you.
What can go wrong with an old-fashioned? Jim Backus, It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
If I order an old fashioned and get a fuckin sugar packet, I’m sending that shit back. Sugar cube is the only acceptable way.
You do not muddle the damn orange in an old fashioned
...wash that glass, yo!!
I'm from Wisconsin, Old Fashioned needs to be made with Brandy 😊
Yes, I was looking for this!
One tastes good
Don't get me wrong, drink whatever the hell you want and enjoy things how you like them, if you want to make an Old Fashioned with muddled orange, go for it!
But at the same time, don't tell people this is how you're supposed to make an Old Fashioned.
Don’t muddle the orange peel. It will extract too much bitterness. The Orange peel should be expressed into the glass, rubbed around the rim and then placed into the drink.
You forgot the spice cherry on top Johnny
I prefer the Old Fashioned be mixed in a mixing glass first. Also maybe ask the customer if he wants muddled.
Less than 5 seconds in and it’s already wrong lol. The difference is that a manhattan has vermouth and an old fashioned has simple syrup.
Classically, for an old fashioned, you muddle a single sugar cube. Simple syrup is the easy way. I use simple syrup, too.
Simple syrup is also the consistent way, for both measuring and incorporating sugar into the drink. Although I usually prefer demarara syrup, or a barrel-aged maple syrup
do not crush orange slice and use sugar syrup not raw sugar from a packet
Always a odd number of garnishes
That'll be 97.50
Paused right away.. a Manhattan is much sweeter
An old fashioned gives you much more bourbon/whiskey flavor.
Never liked a Manhattan but love old fashions

I’d love to meet you 2. Wish I had a dad like you, I’m all alone
Hot dad, is there a mom, if she is very LUCKY.
i think this is for fun yall.
I prefer a long island
There’s a classic of and a wisco of look them up if u want to know the difference between
Great video.. plus knew the “tap tap” was coming 😅
This would be great if the kid wasnt making noise.
what this hack did to that OF is a crime
Yeah never trust an old fashioned that muddles the orange. They're never great and very low bar.
You don't muddle and orange in a old fashion you just have an orange peel
Do you not pour rye over ice so you don't bruise the rye...
Muddling a orange in your old fashion.. and saying you are using a maraschino cheery and not a luxurdo in a Manhattan…I know you are joking

they are very similar, except for the entire recipe, especially when you make them wrong. why is there an orange in the old fashioned?
I've never seen muddled orange, but I've always seen an orange twist, and a few times I've seen a small orange wedge as a garnish.
They're very similar: nothing at all is similar lol
This is most definitely in the Midwest… yes?
The daddy’s boy is at it again!
Andddd got it. Won’t be going there for an Old Fashioned
aint no fucking muddled orange wedge in an old fashioned, its just a peel at the end
Every time he taps his ring on something i hate him a little more.

1. Learn how to spell.

GOD no. Keep your fruit in the garnish caddy. No muddling needed in an Old Fashioned. Absolute rubbish.
I use maple syrup in my old fashioneds, theyre fantastic and worth the try
