For a richer flavor, consider using Demerara syrup instead of simple syrup.
Experiment with different bitters to find your preferred profile. Orange bitters can add a bright, citrusy note.
A large ice cube or sphere will melt slower, preventing your cocktail from becoming too diluted.
Feel free to muddle a sugar cube with the bitters and water if you prefer a more traditional approach.
