Improved Whiskey Cocktail

Stir Bourbon, Simple Syrup, Maraschino Liqueur, Angostura Bitters with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Jerry Thomas invented the Improved Whiskey Cocktail, which gained more attention through David Wondrich’s columns in Esquire and his book Imbibe!. Although it's already a delightful drink, I believe it can be enhanced by cutting back on or eliminating the simple syrup. The current sweetness level is fine but could benefit from being slightly less sweet.
