Pre-batched bottled version serves...
Typically I muddle 1/3 to 1/4 an orange or mandarin with the bitters and syrup prior to adding the bourbon and rye. Stiring throughly before adding ice. Always add a Lexardo cherry with juice using a bar spoon. Mor or less juice to each preference. GREAT RECIPE
Sipping this adaptation right now, as it's World Cocktail Day, pushed the boat out with Woodford Reserve for the Bourbon and Rittenhouse for the Rye. Used 4 dashes of Jerry Thomas and had some home made Demerara syrup. It's tasting quite fabulous even if I say so myself.
A note about syrups, having had so much trouble with these since forever (hit and miss) , I am now buying Monin/Giffard made syrups. At least I tried and am not a professional :)
Just made the Difford’s spec Old Fashioned for the first time in a while. Fantastic!
I used Buffalo Trace bourbon and Templeton 4yr Rye with 2 dashes of Angostura.
Beyond delicious.
