    The core rules for 10th edition, and the sort of temporary rules per army (until they get 10th edition codexes later) can be found here:

    I've tried plain sugar (mix with the bitters first to dissolve), maple syrup, simple syrup, and demerara syrup.

    It might be the garnish then, I rarely buy citrus fruits so I often don't have peels on hand. Previously I tried using some frozen orange peels I saved, but they may have been past their prime.

    I do feel like my drinks are lacking in complexity, so this could be it. I'm off to buy some oranges!

    I've been making old fashioneds at home but find they are just not as enjoyable as when I order one at a cocktail place.

    I think I use decent quality ingredients? Angostura Bitters, and alcohols I've used are Eagle Rare, Wild Turkey 101, Maker's Mark, Basil Hayden, Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, etc. Even got the big ice cube.

    Is it a mental thing, or am I missing out on some key piece of knowledge?

    Went to Hakone between after Tokyo and before Kyoto on our trip. It was so relaxing and a welcome change of pace after the busy city, also got us recharged for Kyoto. If you have the time I'd highly recommend it!
