Rye Old-Fashioned image

One of the most venerable of whiskey-based cocktails, the old-fashioned has a history that stretches back farther than the martini's. For decades it has suffered under the reputation of something your grandmother drank - overly sweet, fruit-laden and spritzed-up. But grandma wouldn't recognize what's happened to it lately.

1 teaspoon Demerara sugar
2 ounces rye whiskey
1 or 2 dashes Angostura bitters

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cocktail turned out really bitter. I think I added too much bitters.

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it with less simple syrup next time.
