RYE OLD-FASHIONED
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.

Steps:
- Spoon sugar into a shaker and add about a teaspoon of very hot water for a simple syrup. Stir until dissolved, adding a little more water if needed.
- Add whiskey and bitters, and stir again. Add several ice cubes and stir well to chill. Strain into an old-fashioned glass, add 2 or 3 big ice cubes, twist lemon peel over the top and drop it in.
