Tips and Tricks
1. Choose the right glassware: Use vintage, cut crystal glasses to enhance the old-fashioned experience. The weight and texture of the glass can greatly enhance your enjoyment of the drink.
2. Use quality ingredients: Opt for high-quality whiskey or bourbon as the base. Don't shy away from splurging on a good brand to elevate the flavor of your old-fashioned.
3. Take time to stir: Stirring your old-fashioned properly is crucial for achieving a well-balanced cocktail. Stir gently, allowing the flavors to meld together without diluting the drink too quickly.
