Higher quality bourbon is important here, as it's the main flavor in the drink, a rye is often preferred. Some prefer using simple syrup, but the choice is ultimately yours. While the garnish is optional, it is HIGHLY recommended to include them because it does add to the flavor profile of the drink.
An old-fashioned cocktail is a classic and simple cocktail that dates back to the early 19th century. It's known for its timeless appeal and is often considered one of the original cocktails, which is why it has remained a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts for centuries.
This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!
Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!

What a classic! This is my favorite cocktail. I’ve started using Demerara instead of simple syrup and it gives it a richer flavor
I'm honestly not sure how you could go wrong with this one. Not only is it a classic, but it's one of the easiest cocktails to make (but also extremely easy to make wrong). An Old Fashioned is the go-to cocktail for my wife and I at pretty much any cocktail bar where we can't decide what we want. Use a quality rye bourbon and you're already good to go. I also recommend using Demerara Syrup instead of normal simple syrup. Enjoy!
