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 all-time favorite is Jeffrey Morganthaler’s, which uses 2:1 simple syrup and a gently muddled orange twist. Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/LufrnOktZiA

    But it’s pretty simple:

    • 2 oz bourbon
    • ¼ oz 2:1 simple syrup
    • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
    • 1 large orange twist

    In a rocks glass, add the syrup and bitters. Add the orange peel on top with the inside facing down and muddle. Add the bourbon, then stir. Add ice, then stir again.
