Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is one of the earliest cocktails ever made, with its first published recipe appearing in Jerry Thomas famed "The Bar-tenders guide" which was released in 1862. Since then, the Old Fashioned has remained a classic cocktail over the centuries for a very good reason. It's made from the key building blocks of any good cocktail, which are: spirit, bitters and sugar. Together it creates a perfect flavour harmony that is sure to delight any drinker.
