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?

I like to really douse a sugar cube in bitters and muddle that up, with a sliver of orange peel if I have any. Then I add 1/4oz of sparkling water(usually San Pellegrino) to help the sugar dissolve and 1.5-2oz of bourbon depending on how strong I want my drink. If i want to take things easy I’ll do 1/2oz of sparkling water and 1-1.5oz of bourbon. Then drop in a big fat cube and give it a stir.
I rotate between Four Roses and Jeffersons Reserve, if I want to be fancy I’ll use Angels Envy!
