5 years ago
General
You will need:
2 oz. 100 proof rye or bourbon
1 sugar cube or 1 tsp sugar or 1 tsp simple syrup (sugar water)
1 bottle Angostura bitters (or other aromatic bitters)
1 2- or 3-inch slice of lemon or orange peel
ice cubes
Put a sugar cube in a rocks glass with a teaspoon or so of water and muddle (crush) 'til the sugar is dissolved. Add 2 dashes of bitters and stir.
Pour in the whiskey and stir with two small ice cubes for chilling and dilution. Fold the fruit peel (lemon for rye, orange for bourbon) skin side down over the drink, to get the aromatic oils.
Add one large ice cube and drop in the lemon or orange peel.
Now sip your Old-Fashioned 'til you start to feel sane again. Repeat as necessary.

If it's an actual emergency, just make it 6+ oz. and skip everything else. ^_^
Still, this should work very well; it's a tried and true recipe!
