A bourbon old fashioned is by far my favorite cocktail, but I’ve gotten very lazy with my recipe lately, simple syrup, woodford, bitters. Anyone have any recommendations to spice it up? What are your favorite bourbons to use?

    My favorite has probably got to be 2 oz spirit (for me it’s normally rum), a barspoon or two of demerara syrup, couple dashes of bitters (ango is always good, but really anything herbal that sounds good). Garnish with an orange twist or not. It’s my quick and dirty drink, if I’m going to spend more time I’ll make something else. But if you count a Ti’ Punch as an old fashioned, I’ll do that instead!

      Do you make your own Demerara, or do you buy it premade?

        I make my own at a 2:1. Ideally with a sous vide, but most of the time just on the stove.
