- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Move over Don Draper, Rich Hunt is here with his recipe for the Whisky Old Fashioned cocktail. Sometimes made with rye or bourbon, we're using Dewar's 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky. Making the Old Fashioned is all about the ritual - starting with the caster sugar and bitters, then adding whisky and ice bit by bit as you stir to chill the drink right down. Created in partnership with Bacardi.
Give the Whisky Old Fashioned a try and make sure you come back to let us know what you think of it!

Have fun and please drink responsibly.
www.drinkaware....
I like to do:
2oz bourbon (Bulleit makes a good drink and is fairly economical)
.5oz Simple Syrup
3 dashes Angostura Bitters (or black walnut)
2 dashes Orange bitters
Combine in mixing glass with ice and stir until properly diluted. Strain into glass that has one large ice cube in it and top with the zest of the orange like you did. A lot easier to make when you are entertaining/don't want the graduals of sugar to possibly come through.
OMG they are using Dewar's whiskey!! Being a Dewar myself makes me feel proud seeing Dewar's being used!! :D
Assassins Angel Cheers!
What i love and adore about Jamie' Drinks & Food Tubes is the interaction that goes on with the fans. Its refreshing to see on CZcams!
Maximum John Thanks John, appreciate it. Have a flippin marvellous weekend.
I like to enjoy these while paragliding.
+D5quared91 Wow, that's a whole new level of multitasking! x
D5quared91 i
I love this drink. It's best served with one big ice cube, that fills the whole glass, to prevent the whiskey from diluting as it sits. I prefer it with a lemon twist and a cherry. Beautiful.
Glad to see you used a decent amount of bitters and didn't fill the drink with cherries and orange and such or top it off with soda water. Nice and classic and wonderful. I like mine with bourbon and craft bitters (Fee Bros bitters from the US are particularly nice).
Zelmel Cheers Zelmel, no point messing with a classic!
Top it off with Soda??? but why... urgh.
I love using Bourbon too, and the craft bitters are a great idea - don't know if we can find those you mention in Europe though.
If you're looking for craft bitters here in the UK, we have plenty which are widely available throughout the EU. Check out Elmegirab's bitters. Adam's from Scotland and makes some awesome recipes -bokersbitters.com or @adamsbitters on social media.
You also have The Bitter Truth company from Germany who make a similar range to the guys from Fee. Check out their Jerry Thomas Bitters for a cracking old fashioned.
Great ! Makes me wanna taste it so bad.
***** Next time you're in town we'll have one waiting with your name on it.
Chill the glass right now cause i ll be in Ldn next week
@@FrenchGuyCooking And the world wants to know: Did you really get one? ;)
This guy knows what he's doing, great job! :)
Caroline Turtle Thanks Caroline :)
What have we done to deserve Jamie oliver's drinks tube and food tube? I'm so utterly grateful to these two channels 😭💕
Awww - thank you Sushmita!
I do an Old Fashioned with a slice of orange, simple sugar syrup and orange cream citrate bitter as the base, with bourbon and ice + stirring, garnished with orange peel as well!
I'd like to try it out with the angostura instead, compare and contrast!
WOAH. It sounds like you seriously know your stuff! Thanks for sharing your tips x
I love this ! One of my favorite drinks. I've been searching for different fashions to make it. This video really helps.
Lais Cordiolli Silva Boom!
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!!!!!
Sugar doesn't dissolve very well in alcohol which is why you should add a splash of water to the sugar in the first place. I'm glad that you didn't brought up that "mad men-era" style of the old fashioned with muddled cocktail cherry and orange slice, though.
I gave it a try today and I loved it! Very good and tasteful recipe for a cocktail.
I wasn't exactly sure how to make on of these. this tutorial really helped!
+gizzycat cat Nice one. What's your pref, this or the rum version?
I'd actually like to know a lot more rum AND vodka version's.
Normally i would avoid scocth whisky and granulated sugar in an old fashioned. Simple syrup is much better in my opinion, but anything else than that was a good example of how to make a classic and elegant drink. Good job guys
Fredafan Cheers.
I usually ask my customers what whisky they want. Then they get the feeling of being in the "process". Works actually pretty well! Cheers! :)
I have been waiting for a video on old-fashioned for months and you finally made one! Thank you Drinks Tube. (Though I was actually hoping it would be Simone)
WaiHoong Liew Our pleasure. Hope you like it. Cheers!
An Old Fashioned, so meticulously crafted, it will allow you one sip before you're considered old.
An old fashioned should be made with demerara sugar. You should dilute the sugar with a little water first (sugar does not dilute in alcohol) Once diluted then add the bitters followed by Rye whiskey and your orange peel.
Sugar dissolves in alcohol just fine.
Try it with a single, large ice cube. You get less dilution, but maintain the coldness!
Great video! Rich Hunt is a pleasure to watch at work!
You should do Wisconsin's favourite variant of this drink, the Brandy Old Fashioned Sour.
Jwend392 Sounds like a flippin marvellous idea.
Great technique!
ειμαι αλιτηΖζΖ ΖζΖ Salut.
Use a good whiskey (Woodford Reserve is my personal fave) and this drink is the ultimate mouthgasm.
+dannynannady Mmm...
+dannynannady Bourbon actually. Haha but im not stuck up about technicalities. I love it too. On its own it is very strong for me but in an old fashioned there is no alternative
+Chase Kaplan True, but then again all bourbon IS whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon
Its beautiful!!!!
+PanamaSabroso :D
Im going to buy some bitters and give this a go :) Relatively new to whisky drinking, and like the idea of the combinations here
We think you're going to love it!
so elegant! Great job !
+JOHNNYwxw Cheers for the lovely comment!
Delicious
***** Yup.
Until I watched this video, I was under the impression that an Old Fashioned was way more complicated than this. I developed a taste for them after having them a few times at a local cocktail bar. I've only ever had them with bourbon and Irish whiskey, but I've got a bottle of rye at home that's just begging for some bitters and sugar. I'm definitely gonna make a couple for myself this weekend.
I think the cocktail bar I mentioned slightly chars the orange peel with a torch before adding it in.
+Colin A EXCELLENT, Colin. You'll become a Old Fashioned-whizz before you know it.
you should put orange peel in whilst you're stirring - gives far better taste
Perfect if you switch out the scotch for rye whiskey
Each to their own ;-)
+Chris Patton Well, I hope you replace the orange peel with a lemon peel as well …
Bought aromatic bitters especially to try this tonight! :)
***** How did it go?!!!
T`was very nice cheers! However i did use a non-peated scotch. May try one with a medium peat next time, hopefully it wont overpower the bitters :)
Check out how we make our Old Fashioned!
to all the people bitching about the use of scotch in a cocktail, look up the Rob Roy and the history of that drink!
Made this with Oban 14, skip the sugar. Salty and citrus, great!
Yikes, will have to give that a go!
max138 You put a 14 year old single malt into a cocktail?😱x
Rich I would really appreciate a cocktail with sake :D
ειμαι αλιτηΖζΖ ΖζΖ We hear ya.
Have a few of them up my sleeve for a menu I'm writing. Hopefully will be able to show you one soon！
Love these
thank u nice video
+nelida kiss Thank YOU! nice comment :D
i know the old fashioned as following: dissolve the sugar in a little bit of water and add the bitters .. than add rye wishky (because they are often sweeter)
in my opinnion scotch whisky loses all the complex flavours if you chill it so i rather drink is with a little bit of water or neat
Try making a gin old fashioned, using a really complex gin. I used the botanist gin, amazing
We used to make a drink at The Player called a Gin Re-Fashioned. Fresh Passionfruit syrup, Angostura Orange Bitters, Gin (I like Oxley!) and a lemon twist. Banging.
Sounds amazing, will have to give it a go!
This whiskey Old Fashioned looked amazing! It would have been better if Don Draper came with it:) just kidding, Rich is great.
Cat Foxx Ha :)
Is the sugar the proper way to make this cocktail every other receipe I have seen uses simple syrup. I will try both but is the end result the same or is real cane sugar (crystals) better? Thank you for sharing this video, Old Fashioned's are one of my all time favorite cocktails.
TheDanielCorp Hey Daniel, you can use a sugar syrup if you would prefer. Cheers.
TheDanielCorp The simple syrup dilutes better than the crystal sugar, but will add more water your drink. Try them both and find your preference.
I use syrup in the bar as we have it already made. It's faster and it does give a more consistent drink. But at home I don't always have a syrup made up so end up using caster sugar.
been waiting for this :D
I like making this drink with one giant ice cube instead of smaller cubes
mm great
Hello to all of drinks tube, I am loving everyone and everything on here. A quick plea from me, is it at all possible for anyone to maybe make a tutorial on making bitters? Flavoured, too, would be pretty awesome :D thank you in advance!
That would be a long one, but if the wonderful producers would allow me,I'd happily give a quick lesson ;-)
How does this taste in the summer time? I love scotch, but not sure I would drink it straight when it's hot outside.
+AstroDwarf Only one way to be sure... ;)
I love bourbon. Trying this next time I buy it. Also can the dilution thing be done with any drink? My drinks always get watered down.
+jackass123491 Try making this rum old fashioned. czcams.com/video/H-KX5IjUz5k/video.html
Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube I definitely will. It looks amazing!
Hey Drinks tube, I have great variation of Old Fashioned, could you create it on your channel? :))
Recipe: build up cocktail in rocks glass
1 full bar spoon of cherry jam
4 dashes of orange and angostura bitters
20ml of bourbon
Stir and mix everything together muddle the jam
Put ice stir
Then pour 20ml of bourbon add ice stir
And same again 20ml bourbon ice stir
Then garnish with flamed orange peel
And this is Jammed Old Fashioned
Would you reccomend something peaty, like an islay for this or something like a nice highland or speyside without the peatyness?
Totally up to you. All you're doing is enhancing the whisky you chose. I would often go for something sweet and smokey - peat monster from Compass Box is a particular favourite.
I make it with Ron Zacapa........The Best!!
Marya So i made this! :)
Is there any substitute for aromatic bitters?
nelson tan That's a tough one, and the most honest answer is probably no. Angostura bitters are considered fundamental to this cocktail as there are only 3 ingredients. Angostura are widely available online if you can get hold of them?
That said, you could try using a pinch of spice like cinnamon or allspice however dry ingredients won't really work well.Alternatively, you could try making a homemade spiced sugar syrup to compensate for the lack of aroma from the bitters. The other option would be to add a herbal liqueur. Hope that helps!
Perfect! :)
Is the special stirring spoon really that important for these kind of cocktails? I mean, you can swirl the ice and dilute it a little bit even with a normal spoon?
A normal spoon will totally work, it's just nice to have a fancy long one for when you're stirring in a shaker.
I've tried this drink a few times now with Laphroaig. Really good! But I dont get the sugar to dissolve.
+Marcus Lindgren You've just go to keep stirring and keep adding liquid slowly. Get a bar spoon if you don't already have one, they're useful! Caster sugar may also be of use as its a fine powder rather than granuals. Just might disolve that bit quicker (and easier) - I'm no expert so take this with a pinch of salt (and a shot of your favourite).
+Marcus Lindgren sugar doesnt dissolve in alcohol
+Marcus Lindgren try it with a high quality maple syrup instead of the sugar. it takes it to a whole new level.
+Marcus Lindgren A few dashes of cointreau takes care of the sweetness and enhances the citrus note
+Marcus Lindgren Well … they've missed the teaspoon of water to dissolve the sugar. As pointed out by someone else before: sugar doesn't dissolve well in alcoholic beverages. You could either stir it like mad (which could result in a loss of flavour) or use simple syrup instead - which is just water and sugar at a ration of about 1:1. Less stirring.
When going with Single Malt whisky I'd suggest a little less sugar/simple syrup. Just like with a Single Malt Scotch Sour … you don't want to cover up the flavours of that lovely Single Malt (personally I go with 7/2/1 or even 7/1.5/0.5 on a Single Malt Scotch Sour; the last number obviously stands for the simple syrup).
What about blended Canadian whisky?
i wouldn't use scotch in an old fashioned. the sweetness from bourbon is what makes an old fashioned work because it compliments the aromatics and orange.
scotch seems like the peat would just overpower the aromatics with its campfire characteristic.
+Grant Ephross Um... only if it's a peated whisky - you'll find that most blended whiskies (and a fair number of single malts) have no peated barley used in their creation at all.
+Grant Ephross I disagree about using a bourbon. I like my Old Fashioned with a rye whiskey, and I use a homemade simple syrup in lieu of dissolving sugar. I really like the balance of sweetness and the almost peppery like quality of the rye. Cheers either way!
That moment when you come across a CS friend you haven't seen in ages. still fencing? -zerostar
I believe it's all about what suits you best. People are people, and people are different. Like the different taste in clothes, food, cars etc. :)
Scotch is really nice imo in an old fashioned. Obvioulsy depends on its character though.
you should strain that into a rocks glass with 1 large ice cube
The armomatic bitter does not translate well for me?
Is it a sorta essence of bitter you use in cooking or is it something brewed?
Hi slitor, you'll need something like this - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angostura_bitters
This is the first time I came to this channel to actually watch a drink that I might drink being made. Well done sir; That quantity of sugar kinda put me off though...
radbcc Ease off the sugar to suit your own taste.
Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube 0.
I love this drink - although I prefer using Bourbon. What I did was using sugar cubes, splash a few drops of bitter, then the tiniest drop of Soda water to help dissolve the sugar, and use the other end of the bar spoon to crush it - you know, for the show. Then a good Bourbon (Maker's Mark or even better my favourite Wild Turkey).
What I've never seen though, is anyone making a cocktail sitting... i don't know why, it made me cringe a bit. Like watching Jamie Oliver cooking sitting down, just weird.
Hey, I recommend you try it!!! Since the director made me do this, I rarely stand up to make my drinks any more.
Life just got easier ;-)
Can you do that with underberg instead of angostura?
try Orange bitters
underberg would be way too sweet i think
Any idea where i can find those lovely, "vintage" old fashioned glasses? I would prefer a >10oz glass which seems hard to find online
modestinos That was actually a Dewars glass that they gave to us. We find second-hand shops and online are a great way to find really interesting glassware.
eBay!
I like use Hibiki 17yo and maple syrup
Scott Strong is correct.
Sugar does not disolve in alcohol.
Sugar molecules are polar. They have a slight positive end and a slightly negative end. Water molecules have the same property. For this reason, the positive end of a sucrose molecule will be attracted to the negative end of a water molecule and dissolve.
Alcohols are non-polar and are equally charged on all sides. The charged ends of the sugar have nothing to be attracted to except other sugar molecules, therefore they will not dissolve.
+Microgenesis um dude alcohol is a O-H group which is a dipole ie polar, sucrose is also polar due to the O-H groups, the positive H+ and negative O- respectively are attracted to eachother, so yes sugar will dissolve in alcohol no problem
+Pete S Couldn't have said it better myself pete. The dipole nature of ethanol is what makes it such a great industrial solvent and cleaning product in labs, because it dissolves a whole heap of other substances
+Pete S
On top of that, no drink is 100% alcohol anyways.
KaennC Correct, it's alcohol in solution. If alcohol is in the solution, it's probably polar, so sugar can dissolve too.
A lot of Bullshittiwism
I'm not sure how adding the ice and whisky in small portions is going to slow chilling/dilution. Care to explain a bit further?
+Matt Jardine Since the relatively higher temp of the whisky would melt the ice faster if you added it in higher amounts. If you add small amounts of whiskey to some ice, and then let it chill (which happens faster if added in small amounts), the ice won't melt as fast from subsequent additions of whisky as the relative temperature between the two won't be as high.
+Matt Jardine The point of adding a small amount of ice at a time is actually to speed up the dilution process. More ice means a lower temperature in the glass which means the ice melts slowly. Adding small amounts of ice and stirring starts the dilution process. Adding small amounts also allows you to control the dilution process more easily than if you added all the ice at the same time and started stirring.
+EmilKGY +tomgavin thank you, gentlemen.
Can I make this cocktail with cognac or aged rum instead of using whisky?
Yes you can use both.
shupak94 Yup. Here's a recipe for a Rum Old Fashioned.
instead of angostura bitter can I use Jagermeister ?
nay la win Jägermeister isn't a bitter, it's more of a herbal liqueur
DaDutchGuy so, no you shouldn't use Jägermeister :p
Ooh good thinking. I would agree that jaeger isn't quite as bitter as Angostura, but if you don't mind an intense herbal flavour to your drink you could use about 5-10mls. I'd probably recommend combining both. 3 dashes of Angostura and a dash or two of Jaeger. I do something similar using fernet branca a lot. Gives a fresh minty finish to the drink. Yummmmmy
can i substitute the bitter thing? :D
+chase klan If you don't fancy including the bitters then cut back on the sugar a little-you will be left with just sweetened whiskey at this point, and it could be a little cloying without the bitters. On the other hand, you could include other spicy or herbal ingredients but then you'll lose the true essence of a Whisky Old Fashioned.
What would you say to using bourbon whiskey?
I would say: do it!
+Mrpastry909 The "original" one is made with Rye or (a little bit later) with Bourbon - this is a variation of it.
I've seen some bartenders muddle a slice of orange and a cherry with the sugar, is that not needed?
Everyone has a slightly different way of doing an old fashioned - this is Rich's way, but feel free to adapt it to suit your tastes. Enjoy!
Thanks!
I am so in the wrong country when it comes to alcohol and food, Luckily it's the right country for everything else, but cooking drink mixing is so much fun..
Kaaxe Where are you?!
Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube Norway
Scotch whiskey in an Old fashioned?What happened to rye whiskey?
+Dimitris Loxias read the description
sometimes they use bourbon as well
You can use what ever whiskey you want really.
Because it's sponsored by Bacardi that sells Dewar's obviously just like about every other video on this channel. Not complaining, just saying
Exactly. He's even using a Dewar's old fashioned glass. I know because I own them.
i thought you're suppose to put a syrup base and not sugar o.0
john king Not necessarily no. This was works just as well. It's all down to personal preference.
Jamie Oliver's Drinks Tube i see
We say caster sugar as it's a simpler ingredient at home. If you have some syrup made up, go for it. Faster, more consistent and some would argue a better texture.
I won't deny this is a good drink for whisky lovers. But i hate when people order this at my bar. It's slows service soooooo much. Sometimes we have to straight up refuse the sale of it if its to busy. Standing there stirring like an idiot for 5 minutes.
As far as I'm aware the ice shouldn't be sitting out of the drink that much, because it will inevitable dilute too much.
OfficialYoushii Where is your bar?
Supposed to be bourbon for an old fashioned, also supposed to run the edges of the glass with the orange peel then burn it with a lighter to enhance the orange flavour
We love a good twist, you should give it a go! You won't regret it, trust us ;)
Historically it's actually supposed to be rye, not bourbon. Bourbon was not popular at the time that thee Old Fashioned was invented.
Rye was the original American Whiskey, but I think bourbon quickly gained popularity and eventually became the prefered whiskey people drank.
maybe you don't know that whisky doesen't help so much to melt the sugar, since alcohol just don't has any effect on that matter, only the small % of water contained in whisky does something... ice cubes, hence water, does all the work. You might as well add whisky at the end...
Appreciate the comment, but it's important to serve this drink at the right temperature and at the same time not drop the temperature too quickly. If you chuck the whisky over ice you lose a lot of the soft rich mouthfeel the whisky picks up from its time in oak barrels - the complex amino acids chains come out of solution and become astringent on the palate. This is the difference between a well balanced old fashioned and a great old fashioned.
Rich Hunt
thanx for the explanation Rich!!!!
I thought it had to be bourbon-based?
sorry but i dont put ice in my scotch,
+Soulrapier1 That's cool. Not every one does. Recipes are guides not rule books, so go with whatever makes your tastebuds happy!
I really need to know the answer can anyone please help ?
WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING ICE
***** WHY SO SHOUTY?!!! We don't like too much dilution, hence using lots of ice.
WATCH this! /watch?v=YVG1U-faqHY
***** He's preparing an Old Fashioned Cocktail, not teaching how to drink straight up whiskey.
You could use less ice of you like, but your drink would over dilute and you would ruin the whisky rather than simply soften it. More ice = better drink. Fact.
or you can add water just a splash and drink it like a sir
Almost criminal he's using a blended...
1) mix in a larger glass, then strain into old fashioned glass with one large cube
2) get sweetness from a luxardo cherry, not just sugar
3) you blew away the whisky with bitters, 2-3 drops is sufficient
4) rye is traditional, but I suppose scotch is okay? I would not use one with heavy peat
5) that orange twist is offensively large, just stop
I am sorry but hell no... Distorted method.. This is coming from a guy who spent 20 years behind the bar... Mixing glass, cube of sugar and enough bitters to wet it, not more nor less.. splash of water to dissolve the sugar then add the whisky.. 2 ice cubes and a 10 secs stir enough to chill it but not dilute it.. strain into this lovely glass (which I will commend you on, the only thing I would commend you on) over one big ice cube.. Garnish and serve.. You don't dissolve the sugar in the whiskey and you don't add the whiskey before all the sugar have dissolved and this amount of ice is only good for a quarterback's shoulder but like hell you would put it in an old fashioned.. There is a special room in hell for people who insult whiskey this way :P
I love drinking these, but can't stand it when people order them at the bar. How dare you?
+Tom Eh?
a little more enthusiasm would be helpful
Why is he talking about Scotch when it is quite apparent he knows nothing about the notes? Maltiness from a blended scotch? That too a 12 year Dewar? Good luck!
That's just not how you make an old fashioned...
Scottish in an Old Fashioned? Are you kidding me?
Whatever whiskey you want.It's preference reslly
So wrong!
Ahh, that's bullshit. If you want to enjoy a good whisky (I'm talking 2OO pounds) you don't need any of this. NO ICE. It breaks all the flavor and ugh, then it tastes like someone's piss. Whisky is not a drink that you make cocktails from (maybe Jack Daniels and these cheap shit). Whisky is for real men, not for ladies who want to drink a cocktail
Adam Dolejš Oh Adam.
Dewars 12 is available at my local shop for £26.99. Hardly $200. My $200 bottle of Linkwood will never see a drop of bitters...but I only drink that on VERY special occasions.
Its not a Single Malt.
Scotch can get the f out of my old fashioned. Just does not work for me. So much faffin too
That's just not how you make an old fashioned...
