Gin Old Fashioned

The Story
Any base spirit can be made into an Old Fashioned. The formula is simple: spirit, sugar, and bitters. Here we swap out the traditional Bourbon for an Old Tom Gin. My choice is Ransom, a barrel aged Old Tom, hence the darker color of the cocktail pictured. If you want to go for a different look, try Hayman's Old Tom, which is perfectly clear.
Ingredients
2 oz Old Tom Gin
¼ oz Rich Demerara Syrup (2:1)
3 dashes Orange Bitters
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Preparation
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass
Stir with ice for 30 seconds
Strain into a lowball with a large ice cube
Optionally garnish with a twist of lemon
