The best whiskey for an Old Fashioned is ... the whiskey you like! Many reputable mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts have opined on whether you should use rye or bourbon, but honestly, you can use either. Which do you prefer? There—that's your whiskey for an Old Fashioned! I like this drink with bourbon. I used Buffalo Trace most recently, but ot...
Old Fashioned purists say the proper thing to do is to muddle a sugar cube with the bitters (and either a little club soda or water) in the bottom of the rocks glass. Non-purists, like myself, think that's nice but the sugar never seems to fully dissolve this way. Either my muddling skills are weak (quite possible), or there might be another way. I...

- DO: Opt for a quality whiskey. An Old Fashioned is essentially a delicious vehicle for enjoying your favorite whiskey, so choose wisely (no need to break the bank, but choose at least a solid midrange whiskey).
- DON’T: Dump a sugar packet in the glass. Sugar is one of the three pillar ingredients, so it deserves some thought. The classic way to make an Old Fashioned starts with placing a sugar cube at the bottom of a glass, adding a few dashes of bitters and a splash of water and muddling until it’s completely dissolved.
- DO: Be tactful with bitters. An Old Fashioned calls for two to three dashes of bitters—no more, no less—that are added to the glass once the sugar or simple syrup is in.
- DON’T: Add soda water. Besides sugar, whiskey and bitters, any other ingredients are uncalled for, though orange slices, cherries and soda water are commonly seen in Old Fashioneds.
