The Canadian Old Fashioned is not really an Old Fashioned in the bitters, sugar cube and stirring the cocktail in the glass sense. Canadian's, it seems don't have time for stirring, muddling sugar, and fussing over a drink. This is as much a virtue as a detractor, because I've enjoyed this little cocktail and made many similar lately for people I serve at my bar. It's cold, it's smooth and it goes down easy.
There's no maple syrup in the Canadian Old Fashioned, despite the trend of putting syrup in all Canadian themed drinks. No raspberries either. But orange and lemon twists are called for. I used Hella Aromatic Bitters but Angostura are just as good.
- 2 oz. Canadian whisky
- 1 tsp. triple sec
- dash lemon juice
- dash Angostura bitters
- orange twist
- lemon twist
Combine liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into an Old Fashioned glass and garnish with twists.
