If you substitute more than 50% of the ingredients of an old fashioned, does it become a new fangled?

@cooler_ranch ...how do you change 50% of the ingredients of an old fashioned?

It's literally just sugar, bitters, and bourbon

@troubleMoney

The first step is confusing the recipe with a Manhattan.

I did bourbon + bitters + maple syrup + lemon zest + lemon juice + crushed raspberries (cherries were moldy) + top with mineral water.

@cooler_ranch that's an awful lot more than 50% of the ingredients you switched

@troubleMoney a new fangled, I tell ya!

@cooler_ranch I'd imagine it tasted okay, so assuming it did, by the power vested in me by having previously worked in a bar I hereby dub that drink a NEW FANGLED

@troubleMoney Please be careful with that power. You could accidentally marry two people that way.

@cooler_ranch (un)fortunately here in the UK you actually have to be a proper priest or something belonging to a proper religion

@troubleMoney By the power vested in me, you and all former bartenders are ordained in the Church of Pouet to marry anyone whomstn't've they please.
