An old fashioned cocktail is a timeless drink made with whiskey, bitters, and sugar. It is stirred, poured over ice and garnished with a lemon or orange wedge and cherry (via Allrecipes). While the orange peel gives a hint of orange flavor, there's a secret ingredient that can be added to amp up the citrus flavor.
Tasting Table's recipe for a smooth old fashioned adds orange bitters to a classic old fashioned. The addition of orange bitters of course gives the drink a more bitter flavor, but it also adds a nice citrus flavor. Recipe developer Christina Musgrave writes, "The special ingredient is the orange bitters – they are not common in an old fashioned and gives the cocktail some brightness and a faint citrus note that is even better with the orange peel garnish."
Next time you're in charge of bartending for the evening, try adding equal parts orange and Angostura bitters to whiskey and sugar. It's sure to impress even the most conventional old fashioned connoisseurs.
