Old Fashioned

I particularly enjoy a Whisky cocktail in the Winter, because the flavour and smoky aroma of the spirit is warming. If you want to easy into the weekend with such a cocktail, I recommend mixing yourself an Old Fashioned. It has stood the test of time for a reason --or several, actually, from the mellow embrace of Bourbon to the suave bitterness of Angostura, the whole thing lifted up by the bright citrus notes. Simple and beautiful. Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 heaped teaspoon caster sugar

2 or 3 dashes Angostura Bitter

1 teaspoon water, at room temperature

60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) good quality Bourbon

8 ice cubes

a freshly peeled orange twist

In a mixing glass, combine caster sugar with two or three dashes Angostura Bitters.

Add water, and stir well with a bar spoon until sugar dissolves.

Add Bourbon and six of the ice cubes, and stir gently until well-chilled.

Place remaining ice cubes in a rocks glass, and strain cocktail over the ice.

Express the oils of the orange twist, and drop into the glass.

Enjoy Old Fashioned immediately.

Sidecar !

Ingredients:

2 ounces VSOP Cognac, Armagnac, or good California brandy

1 ounce Cointreau

3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Superfine sugar, for garnish (optional)

Orange or lemon twist, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Optional: Prepare cocktail glass by making a slit in a lemon wedge and running the cut edge around the rim of the glass; then dip the rim in a saucer of superfine sugar to create a thin crust. Chill the glass until needed.

Combine brandy, Cointreau, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake well until chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into prepared glass; garnish with a twist of orange or lemon peel, if the urge comes across.
