Classic Old-Fashioned

• 3 dashes Bitters
• 1 tsp Water
• 1 Sugar cube*3 oz Bourbon
• 1 Orange slice*1 Maraschino cherry

In an old-fashioned glass, muddle the bitters and water into the sugar cube, using the back of a teaspoon. Almost fill the glass with ice cubes and add the bourbon. Garnish with the orange slice and the cherry. Serve with a swizzle stick.

This is a classic version of the Old-Fashioned. In more modern recipes the orange slice is muddled with the sugar, bitters and water.
