Demorara sugar also is a better sugar than regular sugar if I’m correct

One thing I love about simple syrup in an Old Fashioned is how easy it is to modulate the sweetness of the drink. One sugar cube is way way way too sweet.

A sugar cube is like 4 grams. Two sugar cubes is just a tad more than a quarter ounce. One sugar cube in an equal amount of water is basically a quarter ounce of simple syrup(1:1). A sugar cube is absolutely not too sweet.

I assume you are excluding Wisconsin from this perfectly reasonable rant. Because: Brandy and topping it up with seltzer is perfectly great.

The idea is that the last few sips of the drink is really sweet, which tricks people’s brains into wanting another drink.

The cube helps to grind up the fruit and release more oils

I think you want to die on this hill. I’ve bartended in New York, LA and Phoenix and have worked at reputable places that did sugar cube - it’s nostalgia, its style and it can be done right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry, you’re doing something wrong if you can’t make it dissolve when muddling your sugar cube with bitters. Like serious operator error. Also, simple syrup wasn’t a thing when this drink was invented, so…🤣🤡

Sugar cube just makes the drink more expensive
