Bourbon and whisk(e)y are meant to be imbibed with just a couple of drops of water.

1 Sugar cube, or if you're feeling fancy, powdered sugar. Or Brown Sugar Syrup for the third level.
Bitters - I used Angostura and Orange

Muddle. Add Orange Peel, Muddle a little more

Bourbon, 2-2.5 oz.

Luxardo Cherry - Pressed into the bottom ever so slightly

Ice

Stir

Which is why i never understood the fascination of ordering it neat. I want some ice to swirl and open it up.

Old Forester Prohibition style makes an excellent Old Fashioned.

So it’s admittedly not a HUGE deal to most people, but shaking tends to dilute drinks and change the texture into a more bubbly/foamy drink.

It’s great when sour mix or egg whites or daiquiris are involved, but if you’re using a good bourbon or whiskey in a simple drink like an old fashioned, you don’t want to bang it around with a bunch of ice and ruin the smoothness.

Just my take, I’m sure it doesn’t matter to most

Never made them but I like Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet, only in Wisconsin. Haven’t even bothered trying to find one here in Texas.
