Lifestyle: Wankered Wednesdays - Old Fashioned

First created in the 1880’s in Kentucky and brought back into popularity thanks to AMC’s Mad Men the Old Fashioned is a mixture of dissolved sugar muddled with bitters and a generous helping of Bourbon or Scotch.  Although the recipe is under contention one of the earliest ones goes as follows:

You will need: A small lump of sugar, a splash of water, two dashes of Angostura Bitters, a small piece of ice, a piece of lemon peel and 40ml of either Scotch or Bourbon Whiskey.

To prepare: 1. Dissolve the small lump of sugar with a little water in a Whiskey glass.
2. Add two dashes of Angostura Bitters, a small piece of ice, a piece of lemon peel and 40ml of Scotch or Bourbon Whiskey.
3. Mix with a small bar spoon (or whatever you have available) and serve.

Enjoy, and get absolutely wankered!
