True confession -- I got the old fashioned recipe from a Rachel Maddow YouTube series. The bartender at this whiskey cocktail joint a client took me to in [redacted city] after a mediation told me to look them up after I watched him make a few that way. She is apparently a classic cocktail snob, in addition to being a pinko commie lesbian sent from Mockba to destroy Western Civilization.

Still water, indeed. I suppose a splash in that context would be okay. But I see "seltzer" and think about the fizzy "old fashions" I've been served on more than one occassion. Frequently with the muddled fruit cocktail. Yuck.
And Hank is Atkins, right, so if he drinks G & Ts at all, he probably uses diet tonic.
I like the new less-sugar "craft" tonics out there, but they are wayyyy to expensive for the quantity of gin and tonic I go through once the weather gets decent.
