The All-time Whiskey for an Quondam Fashioned

The best whiskey for an Old Fashioned is ... the whiskey yous like! Many reputable mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts have opined on whether you should apply rye or bourbon, but honestly, yous tin use either. Which do you prefer? In that location – that's your whiskey for an Former Fashioned!

I like this drink with bourbon. I used Buffalo Trace near recently, but other mid-tier bourbons like Maker'south Mark, Bulleit, or Knob Creek would all be excellent choices.

Sugar Cube or Unproblematic Syrup?

Old Fashioned purists say the proper thing to practice is to muddle a carbohydrate cube with the bitters (and either a niggling guild soda or h2o) in the bottom of the rocks glass. Non-purists, like myself, think that's nice but the carbohydrate never seems to fully dissolve this way. Either my muddling skills are weak (quite possible), or there might be another way.

I'grand in favor of using unproblematic syrup for an Onetime Fashioned because it'due south like shooting fish in a barrel and convenient. Here's how to make it.

If Y'all Want to Experiment, Try Different Bitters

Angostura bitters is traditionally used in an One-time Fashioned. (Fun fact: Patently Angostura bitters is kind of similar Coca Cola, in that only 5 people on globe know the recipe, which reportedly consists of over twoscore different herbs and spices! That may be true, but I mostly smell nutmeg right off the bat.)

You can't go incorrect with Angostura bitters, only if you're making an Onetime Fashioned in the winter or around the holidays, I recommend using a few dashes of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned Bitters instead. Y'all get way more cinnamon and clove on the nose, like a wintertime holiday in a bottle.
