 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.

 I share Hank horror at adding sugar to a drink, but not his hangover superstition.  
A drink ideally involves no more than booze, maybe ice, and maybe a small wedge of lime. If you require any more, you hold drink better booze.
