re: Best drink to mix Jack Daniels with other than coke?

quote:

---

Chill a mixing glass and an Old Fashioned glass.
Fill the mixing glass with ice.
Add simple syrup, bitters, and bourbon to the mixing glass.
Stir.
Add one very large, fresh ice cube or several smaller fresh cubes to the chilled Old Fashioned glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass, over the fresh ice.
Garnish with a twist of citrus—lemon or orange, depending on your preference.
