I like the old fashioned Old Fashioned! I have gone to using a tsp of light brown sugar and 1/2 ounce of water with 1/2 of triple sec too for an orangey sweetness.

I should mention too that I use 2 shots of Bourbon. I prefer that to Rye or a mix of Bourbon and Cognac or brandy. Use 6 to 9 dashes of Angostura bitters to wet the brown sugar.

I also like it slightly sweeter and use a touch more sugar than this. Agree dark sugar is the way to go.

I get it from using a mix of orange bitters with angostura bitters, but primarily from spraying an orange zest through a match flame onto the surface at the end. My children enjoy the fireball that makes, I enjoy the massive orange aroma notes this adds.
