Review:
Despite being made with a dash of sweetener rather than sugar, or even Demerara sugar, this is a very palatable Old Fashioned and many will not be able to differentiate between the classic sugar-loaded version.
Adding aromatic bitters will help the cocktail's flavour but add trace amounts of sugar.
History:
Adapted from the classic serve by yours truly in January 2019.
