Old Fashioned - where are they good?

Most of the time. Moxie’s makes a great classic one.

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.

Olive or Twist does my favorite Old Fashioned in town.

that's actually one of the worst i've had. it had so much simple syrup in it the drink was pink.

I’ve got some rye whiskey, bitters, and maple syrup all made by Whistlepig. Once I get a good verified recipe I’ll make my own at home with that. Any suggestions?

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

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

I have not had that issue. May have been a rookie bartender.
