Casey finds Elijah Craig such a pleasant-drinking neat pour that his Old-Fashioned remains bourbon-heavy, at a ratio of nearly 10-to-1. He complements his favorite notes in the bourbon with three matching liqueurs: one honey-based, one banana, and the final, cocoa bean. But they’re used in such small proportions that the drink never gets too sweet—this is a true bourbon lover’s cocktail.
