Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dissolve powdered sugar in water before adding whiskey to ensure even sweetness distribution.
Use fresh, cold ice and chill your glass beforehand for a properly cold drink.
Stir gently rather than shake to preserve the whiskey's flavor profile without diluting too quickly.
Taste after combining and adjust sugar-to-water ratio based on whiskey proof and personal sweetness preference.

Substitutions

Powdered sugar → simple syrup (1 tsp, accounts for liquid already present)
Old Thompson blended whiskey → bourbon or rye whiskey (adjust quantity for proof)
Water → club soda or ginger ale (adds carbonation and slight flavor)
