Old Fashioned Rummy
J.E. Alexander describes the cocktail in 1833 as he encountered it in New York City as being rum, gin or brandy, significant water, bitters and sugar; though he includes a nutmeg garnish as well.
INGREDIENTS
60ml Rum
1 bar spoon 2:1 simple syrup
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Orange peel to garnish
DIRECTIONS
In a rocks glass, stir syrup and bitters until fully blended
Pour rum on top of blend
Add ice
Garnish with orange peel (squeeze into drink first)
If you want it to be even more old fashioned, use our Cask Strength Rum. Make sure you sip slowly as the interaction of the syrup, ice and rum will change the drink over time.
