    Im gonna put on my elitist hat for second, so sorry in advance. 

    I’d usually say that people have different opinions and everyone has their own tastes, but anyone who tells you to muddle the fruit or add club soda to an old fashioned is just wrong. Never, and I mean that in the most absolute way, muddle fruit in an old fashioned. That part is not a matter of taste like the Simple Syrup or Cube argument. An old fashioned is a bourbon drink and the only purpose of fruit in an OF is as a garnish. If you muddle fruit in an old fashioned it isn’t an old fashioned anymore. And if it is cloudy when you finish making it you fucked up and should start over. 

    This goes back to the classic Cocktail formula. What a cocktail is at its basic roots is Alcohol, Sugar, Secondary flavoring agent. Then mixed with varying levels of dillusion. The Old Fashioned is the original whiskey cocktail. Whisky is the spirit, Sugar, Bitters to add complexity to the flavor, light dillusion from stirring with only the ice that the drink will be served with. I would go as far as to say only Agnostura, or Bitters that are an Agnostura clone. But I just don’t like Peychudes in my OF. Not a fan of the Peychudes flavor profile.

    Got a bottle of Cotton Hollow as a gift.  Super smooth.

    If you think Cotton Hollow is smooth you're going to be very pleased when you try something like Jim Beam.
