A sweet intro to this whiskey legend.
- 2 oz. rye whiskey
- 3-4 dashes angostura bitters
- 2-3 spoonfuls of maraschino cherry juice
Mix ingredients in mixing glass with ice until chilled. Strain over large ice. Spritz with orange peel, twist & garnish.
The biggest hurdle to making at-home old-fashioneds: simple syrup.
Yes, simple syrup is very simple to make, but it requires foresight.
So anytime you’re in a pinch (like we tend to be), you can easily swap out simple syrup with the sugary “juice” that comes in the jar with maraschino cherries.

You can add as much or as little as you’d like, making this cheater’s old-fashioned endlessly customizable for any taste.
Also try it with a splash a club soda or seltzer to lighten up the flavor profile in the summertime.
