How to Make the Best Old Fashioned + Win $140

I have two cocktails that I'm constantly seeking the perfect recipe for. Bartenders that can wow me with either of these two drinks will keep me coming back, time and time again. The first is a dirty gin martini, and the second is an old fashioned. I think I can make a mean old fashioned at home, and I have that recipe for the best old fashioned on the blog today! Not to mention, I've teamed up with a group of ladies for the easiest $140 giveaway you'll ever enter! It's FriYAY party people!

This is one of those recipes that is so easy, you won't even need to look up the directions after the first few times you make it! 

|| Ingredients ||

2 oz Bourbon - I personally like Bulleit the best.

2 dashes Orange Bitters

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

1/4 oz simple syrup

Orange Twist

|| Directions ||

1. Start with two dashes of Angostura Bitters in your cocktail glass. Then add two dashes of orange bitters. Add in your simple syrup.

2. Add your ice. I found some awesome round ice cube trays at TJ Maxx and they work beautifully for an old fashioned. Of course though, regular ice will do just fine. Stir all ingredients with a bar spoon for about 15-20 seconds, until chilled.

3. Add your bourbon.

4. Run your orange peel around the rim of your glass then drop in your drink.

5. Serve and enjoy!

Now how about we end this work week with an easy peasy cash giveaway?!?
