Using a syrup instead of granulated sugar is faster and also more consistent. TIP 2: Whether you use a bourbon or rye whiskey, pick one with a higher proof such as 50% ABV / 100 proof. TIP 3: More bitters! 4-5 dashes and try using a different combination of bitters to pair with your whiskey. TIP 4: Serve your old fashioned on larger ice. It has less surface area, therefore it dilutes slower. TIP 5: Express your oils! Orange works well with bourbon whiskey whilst lemon works great with a rye whiskey - or use both.
