Garnish and presentation
An Old Fashioned is traditionally served in an old fashioned glass, which is a short and wide type of glass with a thick bottom. The garnish on an Old Fashioned typically consists of an orange peel and a cherry, but some prefer to add a slice of orange or a sprig of rosemary for extra flavor and flair.
Remember to cut the orange peel into a thin strip and bend it slightly over the glass before placing it in the glass. This will release the essential oils from the shell and give the cocktail a lovely fragrance.
