Notes
- If making this cocktail for the first time, add simple syrup to taste. Start out with less, then add more as needed.
- Using a large ice cube will keep your drink cold without melting too much water into it.
- Don't shake this cocktail in a shaker, it's meant to be stirred in a glass.
- Use high quality bourbon! An old-fashioned is a very strong, bourbon forward cocktail. Opt for something high quality that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
