The Timeless Appeal of the Old-Fashioned Cocktail
The Old-Fashioned cocktail is one of America’s earliest mixed drinks, dating back to the early 1800s. Originally a simple blend of whiskey, sugar, bitters, and water, it remains a favorite for its bold, balanced flavor and smooth finish.
In the 21st century, this classic drink has made a powerful comeback. Bartenders across the country now put modern spins on the Old-Fashioned. With craft spirits, flavored bitters, house-made syrups, and fresh citrus garnishes, the Old-Fashioned continues to evolve while honoring tradition and simplicity.
