Transfer the Old Fashioned mix to an airtight container or glass bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a richer flavor, consider using demerara sugar or brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Experiment with different types of bitters, such as orange bitters or cherry bitters, to customize the flavor profile.
For a spicier mix, add a few cloves or a small piece of star anise to the steeping mixture.
When serving, mix 2-3 ounces of the Old Fashioned mix with 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon or rye whiskey. Add ice and garnish with an orange peel and a maraschino cherry.
