A classic favorite among Whiskey lovers, the Old-Fashioned is a classic cocktail that has been enjoyed for centuries. This timeless drink is the perfect mix of smooth and sophisticated. Siliconeer’s in-house Whiskey connoisseur, Amar D. Gupta, shares a unique recipe for this classic favorite.
Prep time – 5-10 minutes
Serving Size – 1 Drink
RECIPE:
Ingredients:
- 2 shots of your favorite whiskey (single malt or bourbon) or (black tea for non-alcoholics)
- 1 tbsp honey syrup (1 part honey, 1 part water)
- 1 dash orange bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
- orange peel garnish
- pinch of saffron (yellow or red)
- star anise (chakra phool)
- 2 large ice cubes
Method:
Grab a mixing glass. Add the whiskey using a shot glass. Then add the honey syrup, and the bitters into the mixing glass with ice. Stir for about 30 seconds or until well-chilled.
Strain the cocktail into a Rock glass over ice. Garnish the drink with an orange peel, star anise, and saffron leaves.
Enjoy with the Masala Peanut Tostada.
For a non-alcoholic, switch out the Whiskey with Black Tea instead. The stronger the tea, the better the flavor. Skimp on the saffron a little in this version.
Cheers!
