How to Make Myers's Rum Old Fashioned - Rum Cocktail - Cocktails at Home

Let's make the Meyers Rum Old Fashioned. Hi, I'm Jer. Welcome to Kill Level where we focus on rum and cocktails. Today we are going to make the Meyers Rum Old Fashioned. If you're new to the channel, welcome. If you're new to the channel, welcome back. In either case, I hope you like this drink. The beauty of getting a recipe off the Meyers Rum website is that they don't have any fancy names. They just tell you what it is. Meyers Rum Old Fashioned. Makes it really easy to figure out what it is. The bad part about getting a recipe off the Meyers Rum website is that they use the term parts in two of their three recipes. In some cases, parts as parts makes sense. If you're doing something like a rum and coke, parts versus parts makes sense. But if you're doing parts mixed with other designations, other units of measure, then it becomes very complicated. And their Meyers Rum Old Fashioned is one of those where they mix parts with real units and that annoys me. A note on the rum. If you're going to make the Meyers Rum Old Fashioned, you kind of have to use Meyers Original Dark Rum. You can use another rum in this recipe if you'd like, but then you're really not making their proprietary recipe. We are going to be making this drink in the glass. And to start, we're going to get some sugar. One teaspoon of sugar. One teaspoon is five milliliters. I'll double check that. If I'm wrong, you'll see the subtitle down below. Next, two to three dashes of bitters. And they don't specify the type of bitters, but I'm going to assume Ancostura and I'm going to put three in. Next, water. It does say just enough water, which is not a measurement, so I'm going to put in one teaspoon and call that good. One teaspoon is five milliliters. Now, they say stir and crush until the sugar dissolves. That sounds like muddling to me, so I'm going to muddle in the glass. I'll be right back with you. Okay, I'm going to say that's good enough. Now I need to get some ice. They say a couple of ice cubes, which is great. I'm going to get a fancy ice. You don't have to use fancy ice, but I'm going to get one. Right back with you. Okay, these are my fancy silicone molds. They're shaped like skulls. They're from my friend Will. Thank you, Will. I'm going to pop that in the glass. Next, I'm going to add one and a half parts of rum, and I'm going to assume at this point that one part equals one cup, which is going to be 12 ounces, which is going to be 360 milliliters. I'm just kidding. One part is going to be one ounce, so one and a half ounces or 45 milliliters. And they don't say to stir, so I'm just going to garnish. Garnish is going to be a twist of orange. See how well I can do this. Oh, I am getting better. Express, wipe, and drop, and one maraschino cherry. In there like that. And there you have it. The Meyers Rum Old Fashioned. Drink with good spirits. Question of the day. How big is a part? Should I have used a cup instead? Let me know in the comments down below.
