Makers Mark Old Fashioned Now, here’s what you’ll need to whip up this classic:

Ingredients:

2 oz Makers Mark bourbon
1 sugar cube
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
Orange peel (for garnish)
Ice cube

Instructions:

Start by placing the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add both the Angostura and orange bitters on top of the sugar.
Use a muddler (or the back of a spoon) to crush the sugar and bitters together. The goal here is to really dissolve that sugar, bringing out those flavors.
Once the sugar is nicely dissolved, fill the glass with one big ice cube. This is key for keeping your drink cold without watering it down too fast.
Pour 2 ounces of Makers Mark bourbon over the ice. Take a moment to appreciate the color and aroma—it’s all about the experience!
Stir gently, allowing the bourbon to mix with the bitters and sugar.
Finally, take a piece of orange peel, express the oils over your drink by twisting it, and drop it in. It adds a nice citrusy fragrance that complements the bourbon beautifully.

And there you have it! Your very own Makers Mark Old Fashioned. Sip slow, enjoy the flavors, and keep the good vibes flowing. This drink is a masterpiece, and you just created it! Cheers!
