Savor the Moment: Take a moment to appreciate the visual artistry and the intoxicating aroma before taking your first sip. Let the flavors unfold on your palate, revealing the Old Fashioned's timeless charm. (Enjoy!)
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.
