The Classic Old Fashioned (aka Spoon Cocktail)
This is the Old Fashioned in its purest, most satisfying form. Building it directly in the glass with a muddled sugar cube gives it that wonderfully rustic texture that sings with a spicy rye. A bright snap of lemon oil ties it all together. Simple, honest, perfect.
