- ¼ oz. simple syrup
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Pour whiskey, syrup, and bitters into a cracked-ice-filled old-fashioned glass and stir 10 to 15 times. Twist a wide lemon peel over the top and drop into the drink.
This is a recipe that I use currently that I find people to really enjoy…
Mediterranean Old Fashion recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1¼ oz. Rye Whiskey
- ½ oz. East India Solera Sherry
- 2 dashes Blood Orange bitters
- Garnish: Orange peel
Instructions:
First item is to build your drink in an old fashion glass. Combine all ingredients into the glass without ice. Twist a wide orange peel over the top and drop into the drink. Add three large ice cubes and stir glass with a bar spoon in a circular motion 10 to 15 times. The stirring will let the ice dilute whiskey slightly without adding water and making a watery mess.
