Japanese Old Fashioned (with Suntory Hibiki Whiskey)
This Japanese Old Fashioned features Suntory Hibiki Whiskey as its star ingredient, complemented by sugar, yuzu bitters for a zesty twist, and a garnish of orange peel.
- 2 oz Suntory Hibiki Whiskey
- 1 sugar cube or 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup
- 2 dashes of yuzu bitters
- Orange slice or slice of orange peel for garnish
- Ice preferably a single large ice cube or sphere
Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. If using simple syrup, pour it directly into the glass.
Add 2 dashes of yuzu bitters on top of the sugar.
Gently muddle the sugar and bitters together until the sugar is dissolved, creating a smooth base for your cocktail.
Add 2 ounces of Suntory Hibiki Whiskey to the glass, combining it with the muddled mixture.
Add a large ice cube or sphere to the glass and stir gently for about 20-30 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
Finish your cocktail with a twist of orange peel or a slice of orange for added aroma and flavor.
Sip and savor the harmonious blend of flavors in your Japanese Old Fashioned!
