• A small square of orange

• 1½ tsp 2:1 Demerara sugar syrup

Instructions:

1. Add everything to a mixing glass filled with ice and give it a good stir to chill.

3. Twist orange zest over the top to release those fragrant oils and garnish with the orange twist and a cherry on a cocktail stick.

4. Enjoy!

Did you know? The Old Fashioned is one of the oldest cocktails around. It got a boost in popularity in the early noughties, thanks to Mad Men's Don Draper, who was often seen with an Old Fashioned in hand.
