For a richer flavor, consider using demerara sugar instead of white sugar. Experiment with different bitters to create your signature Old Fashion mix. Orange, Angostura, and Peychaud's bitters are all excellent choices. The mix can be infused with citrus peels (orange, lemon, or grapefruit) during the cooling process for added complexity. Adjust the sugar level to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet mix, start with 2.5 cups of sugar and adjust to taste.
