I like to use sugar cubes and muddle it down. I'd like to get some Demerara sugar cubes though. Some of the better old fashions I've had at restaurants used Demerara.

You know, as an avid whisky/bourbon/scotch drinker, I have never had an OF. When I did mixed drinks it was always whisky/bourbon and sprite. I feel like I need to have an OF but sad thing is I’m too lazy to make it. It’s so easy to just pour and drink.

Anybody ever made they're own simple syrup out of raw cane?

My back yard is a literal cane field. I've always thought about boiling some to make syrup but I haven't gotten around to it.

All I use. I order them from Amazon. Roland is the brand. Muddle it with some bitters and few drops of water, add bourbon and expressed orange peel and cal it a day. Great stuff.


2PD. Going with east stuff to finish my ice cube

It’s currently 3 degrees here on Cheyenne Mountain.


Perfect weather for some cask strength peated whisky. Ardbeg Corryvrekan it is then.

Anyone doing the Finished Whiskies tasting at Martin’s in March? Get to taste multiple whiskies and the wines/ports they are finished with. I’m looking forward to it.

I had an old fashioned bar for my most recent birthday. Made a few different simple syrups. Clear is just regular sugar and water, dark one is Demerara and water.



The dark one has some great nutty toffee notes that really change up an old fashioned. Big fan.

That sounds awesome. Just venturing into finished bottles and really liking it.

Also, about to light a fire and make some smores, so this seems appropriate for my FPD

I'd like to, but it's the same night as my son's soccer game. I plan to get the wife drunk and then run this by her.

That's our plan for tomorrow night. Getting the neighbors over and doing some smores before the cold leaves us for good.
