Farm-Style Old Fashioned: A Cozy Classic from Pine Mountain Farm
There’s something timeless about an Old Fashioned—just whiskey, citrus, and a touch of bitters, all stirred over ice with quiet confidence. It’s a drink that speaks of slower evenings, front porch views, and good conversations.
At Pine Mountain Farm, we like to keep things simple but meaningful. Our farm-style Old Fashioned does just that: a classic recipe made with a few quality ingredients and a whole lot of charm. Whether you're unwinding after a long day or hosting friends at golden hour, this cocktail fits right in with the peaceful pace of farm life.
A timeless sip for any slow evening on the farm
🍹 Ingredients:
- 1 large ice cube (ideally craft ice)
- 2 oz whiskey (bourbon or rye)
- 2–3 dashes orange bitters
- 1 orange, lemon, or lime peel (for garnish)
- 1 maraschino cherry
- Optional: orange or lime wedge
🧾 Instructions:
- Place the craft ice cube in a short, sturdy glass (like a rocks glass).
- Pour 2 oz of whiskey over the ice.
- Add 2–3 dashes of orange bitters.
- Stir gently for 10–15 seconds to chill and combine.
- Garnish with a twist of citrus peel (orange, lemon, or lime) and a cherry.
- Optionally, add a fresh citrus wedge for extra brightness.
A twist of citrus releases oils that lift the aroma and flavor.
