Old Fashioned Cocktails

25 October 2018
For many, the Old-Fashioned is the bar standard... the drink of choice for any night out. Traditionally made with bourbon or rye whiskey, sweetened with sugar and aromatised with bitters, this most classic of vintage cocktails is served over ice in a heavy bottomed tumbler named after the drink and garnished with its character orange zest twist. While the Old-Fashiooned is a very old, established cocktail, over many decades this vintage classic has evolved in both its methodologie as well as its name, originally being known as the Whisky Cocktail.
