Whiskey Orange // Weekend Cocktail No. 13

This cocktail is very similar to an Old-Fashioned just without that infamous Maraschino cherry. This one also gets treated with a splash of fizzy seltzer water. It's a simple muddle of your favorite whiskey with fresh oranges, a bit of sugar, and bitters. Spend some time on your deck tonight and enjoy this beverage.

Ingredients: 

  • 2 oz. Whiskey ( we used Evan Williams small batch) 
  • 1 tsp raw sugar 
  • 1/2 an orange, roughly cut 
  • splash seltzer water
  • 2 dashes Angostrua bitters

Directions: 

  1. This is for 1 serving : in a glass, using a wooden spoon or muddler, muddle the oranges and the sugar together until well smashed and juicy. Pour some ice cubes in and then add the whiskey. Give it a gentle stir and then add the bitters and seltzer. Garnish with an orange wheel.
