Old-Fashioned

I like making this for people who haven’t had one in a long time. Sometimes you forget how simply elegant this cocktail really is. For this drink, I use syrup instead of sugar. It just mixes better. If you can get Wilks & Wilson’s Gomme Syrup (available at City-Wide Liquors in South Bend), I recommend it. Gomme softens the alcohol a bit while giving spirit-forward classics like this a nice, silky texture.
