Story

The Old Fashioned is a classic American cocktail that dates back to the early 19th century. It was originally called a "whiskey cocktail" and was made with whiskey, bitters, sugar, and water. The name "Old Fashioned" came about in the 1880s when bartenders began adding new ingredients to cocktails, and patrons would request their drinks made the "old-fashioned" way.
