This cocktail is an ‘on the rocks’ type drink and so ice is a vital part of it, we recommend the use of large ice rather than smaller as it melts slower and cools the drink down without diluting it too quickly. We recommend you use Angostura bitters, it’s a versatile bitters that can be used in many different drinks and works fantastic with this one, but if you have others, play around with them and see what you like. Which sugar to use for an old fashioned is often debated but you can use caster, demerara or any other sugar you have access to (the less processed the better, and we tend to go for brown or demerara).
