RUBBISH! that's the worst old fashined i've ever seen. faaaaaaar too much ice and bourbon. i prefer using a sugar cube and dripping angustura and indian orange bitters into it, with a small amount of ice and a double bourbon. garnishing with a strip of orange peel is a nice touch, after gently squeezing some of the oils into the drink and around the rim of the glass. ...anal, i know....
