The Old Fashioned is perhaps the most popular whiskey cocktail. It's simple: whiskey, a couple dashes of Angostura, a dash of sugar, and ice. A traditional Old Fashioned is garnished with a cherry and an orange slice, but you can go a step further and freeze ice cubes with orange zest frozen in each cube specifically for this cocktail.
