I'm a fan of a version of an old fashion. Rye, freshly squeezed orange, luxardo cherry juice and a dash of bitters. No added sugar.
Fussy bartenders will muddle both a cherry and orange in. Then remove them and put fresh ones in place for a better appearance. Doesnt matter to me suppose. My palette tells me muddled tastes best..
But a true old fashioned has no fruit at all...
