Anejo tequila, grapefruit bitters, sugar, and a grapefruit peel

That sounds interesting. Those orange bitters ruin it for me.

Rye
Sugar
Water
Bitters

That is an old fashioned, an expressed citrus peel is a nice garnish but unnecessary

-Sugar cube in glass
-take slice of orange and peal the fruit off leaving just peal
-splash bitters,dash of cherry juice and then squeeze juice from orange fruit part over sugar cube, wait till the cube is almost disintegrated and muddle it together
-place ice in glass on top of mixture
-pour in favorite Kentucky Bourbon (Bulleit for me)
-stir
-take the orange peal and run it around rim of glass, twist it and then use for garnish

I highly recommend these demerara sugar cubes. They add a tremendous flavor to the drink.






As for the drink, I do:

-sugar cube
-angostora (sp?) bitters
-muddle that until sugar disolved
-Bourbon (I'm not a huge rye fan)
-orange peel (I use potato peeler) twisted to release the oils, rubbed around rim of the glass then dropped into the drink
-1 large square ice cube


Don't let others discourage you from orange slice and cherries. I like these sometimes as well when I am in the mood for a sweeter drink. Although it's not the traditional Old Fashion, it is a very common modern variation of it that tastes great.

This really gets to me, I usually make a point to ask before ordering but almost every time I forget they put it in.
