How to Make an Improved Whiskey Cocktail

The Improved Whiskey Cocktail Recipe is a variation of the Old-Fashioned recipe.

The Improved Whiskey Cocktail is typically served in an Old-Fashioned Glass.

Ingredients

2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
0.25 oz maraschino liqueur (about 1-1.5 barspoons, to taste)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
2 dashes absinthe

Preparation

  1. Muddle sugar cube, maraschino liqueur, bitters, and absinthe in the bottom of a mixing glass (the sugar cube is true to original form, but can also substitute 0.25 oz of simple syrup instead).
  2. Add ice, and the whiskey, and stir well.
  3. Strain into a chilled Old-fashioned glass over a big ice cube (can optionally build directly in the Old-Fashioned glass).
  4. Garnish with an orange or lemon peel.
