White sugar
Fully refined sugar, in crystals or pressed into a cube. It sweetens and does nothing else, which is the point: it leaves the spirit to carry the drink.
A cube is about 4 g, which is where the muddled builds get their measure. Crystals dissolve poorly in cold liquid, so a drink that is stirred rather than shaken either muddles them with the bitters first or uses syrup instead.
