    The best old fashioned I've had was at Gallagher's Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan. I looked up the recipe for it so I could share... i was surprised to see they use both rye and bourbon.
    52nd street old fashioned:
    3 dashes of Angostura bitters
    3 dashes of Angostura orange bitters
    1/2 fl oz water
    1/2 fl oz Demerara Syrup
    1fl oz Old Overholt rye
    1 1/2 fl oz Heaven Hill Bonded bourbon
    lemon and orange peel, for garnish

    Whether ice is cloudy or clear is all to do with how the ice is formed, not by so called "impurities". Water that is frozen quickly is usually cloudy, whereas water that is frozen slowly and uniformly is most often clear ice, visually. That is what makes the difference.

    Great video for the newbies to understand what is going on with an old fashioned. Excellent idea to highlight home version vs pro. I will share my version of a smoky old fashioned. In a mixing glass add 1/4 ounce bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, 2 ounces Bulleit Rye, 1/4 ounce Laphroaig Single Malt Whisky, two shakes each of Angostura, Spiced Cherry, and Black Walnut bitters with normal freezer ice. Stir for about 30 seconds. In the double old fashioned glass add large clear ice cube or ball, I prefer ball as my glasses are round. Strain into double old fashion glass. Express orange peel into drink and rub throughout the inside of the glass. Drop peel into drink. Then add black cherry. Finally use orange wood in a smoker by topping off the glass and sealing it for about 30 seconds. Lift smoker lid from glass and serve.

    2 variations I've perfected:
    1) I call it a Maple Old Fashioned - (good for cold, wintry nights/Christmas) Mixing Spoon full of Pure Maple Syrup, 3 dashes angostura bitters, 2-3 dashes orange bitters, 2oz Bourbon, Orange Peel and 1/4 cinnamon stick. Very different flavor.
    2) Spiced Old Fashioned- Simple Syrup, 3 dashes bitters, 2 dashes orange bitters, Orange Peel, 1.5oz of Rye Bourbon (I like Bulleit Rye or Michters, .5oz of regular Bourbon. The spice of the rye really brings a new flavor to this. Also, sometimes when feeling frisky, I leave out orange bitters and replace with Chocolate bitters. Really neat taste.

    My home twist: I use rye and homemade oleo sacrum. I make my simple syrup using orange peels. And I use orange bitters.

A warm hug in a cold glass.

    Idk why but I’ve been to two weddings recently and both places I asked for an old fashioned and they were not even close to anything like this. They even told me if I wanted a premium top shelf whiskey like makers mark it would be extra hahahaha which is like one of the cheapest whiskeys ever the Trader Joe’s by my house has it for $20 a bottle so idk why they think that’s top shelf whiskey....but yeah no presentation skills and no orange peels. And they used a maraschino cherry in it. Tasted like garbage and for $13 was a ripoff. Thank you for making this video and showing how much pride you have in making an old fashioned.

      @rickwilliams967 Před rokem

      Right? That sounds like a recipe for the absolute worst one you could possibly order. It needs to be middle shelf (or top shelf if you're feeling like spending a lot). You only take the rind, dude took pith and part of the orange. You don't need that much damn ice. A couple cubes is more than sufficient. At least he did a decent amount of bitters though. Pretty sure he made this channel since he can't mix a drink properly. You're getting zero tips for that crap he mixed up. Somehow, he made the Jim Beam worse by mixing it 😂

    • @davidvarley1812
      @davidvarley1812 Před rokem

      @Rick Williams personally I think an Old Fashioned needs a robust, heavy bourbon like Jack Daniels or Jim Beam or best of all Bulleit.
      For me Fourr Roses, Buffalo Trace and Marker Mark don't have the character needed for an old fashioned.

    • @davidvarley1812
      @davidvarley1812 Před rokem

      Ps, I realise that due to a United States supreme Court ruling, Jack Daniels is not actually a Bourbon. However if it waddles like duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, chances are it's a duck. Jack Daniels is like Bourbon 51percent corn, and while legally speaking, it is a Tennessee whiskey, us consumers know Jack Daniels is a Bourbon and not a very good Bourbon.

    We had a JD training where we were teamed up, sent of to the grocer, and given $20 to modify the "old fashion" platform.
    Whisk(e)y, sugar, and bitters.
    Our team settled on something strangely bizarre but also surprisingly good. Had we had the right ingredients anyway.
    15/45 jager and Woodford. 15 Maple. And 2 dashes of chocolate bitters. (Or lacking that, we switched to cherry bitters, which actually lost us points as it interacted more with the jager than it did the woodford)
    But as a glassy trying to get into the bar. The training really emphasised how small changes to the components can sit drinks well apart. Even just playing around with Maple, agave, simple or sugar cubes. It's impressive how much change it can have. Learnt a lot at that training.

    in my opinion, the home version got something better, the simple syrup mixes better than any granulated sugar you use, it doesn't matter how many water or muddle you do, that fine sugar will not mix entirely with cold liquid, using simple ensures you have a perfect mix of sugar with cold liquid.

    I made my simple syrup using half cup white sugar half cup dark brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract one cup water simmer on the stove until all the sugar is dissolved. let it cool then funnel it into a squeeze bottle. the vanilla extract really adds a bit of goodness to the sugar syrup. and my old fashioned I use 1 bar spoon sugar syrup 2 Oz bullieit rye whiskey. 2 dashes Angostura betters 2 dashes orange bitters. 1 orange peal expressed over the drink.make it this way it will make you re think your old fashioned. rye whiskey was used in the original recipe. that's what they had back when it was invented.

    Personally, when I make them at home I use loose Turbinado sugar (sometimes marketed as "Sugar in the Raw"). Yes, it never dissolves fully but I like that. It makes the drink evolve a bit as you drink it. Starts out almost pure whiskey, then you get that sugary sweetness at the end. Personally, I think an Old Fashioned made with simple syrup is akin to blasphemy. But that's just me.
    And I REALLY want a muddler like that.

      I’m not sure how theirs is with the Buffalo but to me if I’m gonna incorporate the lemon, I might wanna go with something like a Four Roses SB for the high rye content.

    My twist on the cocktail is a very subtle hint of coffee liqueur, and I use Ararat brandy. I’ve tried lots of whiskers, brandys and Burbons. The Ararat is very nice. The coffee liqueur should be subtle enough that you barely taste it.
    For sweetener I use white sugar muddled with the agustora bitters in the bottom of the glass before adding any other ingredients.

As I think about this now, I'm probably cancelling out the whole sugar free simple with the luxardo cherries and jucies. HAHAHA...oh well, I try!

    The best old fashioned is very simple. The ingredients, orange and lemon peels, Angostura bitters, two luxurdo cherries, 3 large ice cubes, 2 heavy shots of Knob Creek 100 proof bourbon. You start by muddling the orange and lemon peels under 3 dashes of Angostura bitters, then muddle one luxurdo cherry. Drop in the ice and pour the bourbon over it. Stir and toss the second cherry in whole. When you see the citrus oils sitting on surface of the whiskey, you're solid. No sugar, trust me.
