The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail...with a lot of nuances. Bourbon or Rye? Sugar Cube or Simple Syrup? Orange Peel or Cherry?

My rule: the drink should include a bourbon/rye that you enjoy drinking neat . . . but should only cost around $30 a bottle.
Jim's Old Fashioned
2 oz. Buffalo Trace Bourbon (really 3 oz.)
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
1 tsp. water
1 sugar cube
1 large ice cube
1 orange peel twist garnish
Add sugar cube to empty glass. Add 2-3 dashes of bitters. Add 1 tsp. water. Muddle. Add large ice cube. Pour Buffalo Trace over ice cube. Stir for 20 seconds. Twist orange peel over drink to express. Add peel to glass. Enjoy!
