My favorite cocktail. Yardbird’s in Vegas has one that is fantastic.

Black cherries are the secret ingredient.

Also my favorite cocktail but man some places absolutely butcher it. I’m talking about high end places like Ruth’s putting an orange slice and maraschino cherry in it.

Most places in Nola do it right.

Barrel proof in New Orleans

Or the Sazerac bar.

High Hat in Nola makes one of the best Old Fashioned I’ve ever had.

Saffron in Nola also makes a non traditional one w mango that is delicious.

Honorable mention:
Barrel proof
The Sazerac
Revel
Carousel bar

The Turtle Bar at Houma's House Plantation makes a damn good Old Fashioned.

I like, 2 oz of bourbon or rye. High proof preferred. 2 bar spoonfuls of simple syrup (I make my own 1:1 ratio) couple dashes of bitters. Minimum ice, no filler like water or soda, and orange peel. No muddling. Sometime I add a cherry

My house. Brown sugar simple syrup is a game changer. If im having an OF at a restaurant, it’ll be social.

There is a place here in Asbury Park that makes an excellent one, Pascale and Sabine.
I had one at Mandinas a few weeks ago and it was just as I remembered, strong like my grandfather used to make them

Here in Shreveport, there is one bartender at the blind tiger who makes the best old fashioned I've ever had in my life. Dude is a cut above with everything me makes.

The Cove was my favorite. Specifically the salted caramel old fashioned with the caramel drizzled on the rim. Wonder when/where that place will open back up.
