Old Fashioned
Old Fashioned
Old Fashioned was probably the first original American cocktail. While the base spirit was probably brandy, since it originated in the South, bourbon or any whiskey was substituted. Today you will find Rum Old Fashioned and many other variations, but it is the simplest and most basic cocktail recipe.
- 2 ounces Bourbon Whiskey
- 1 Sugar cube
- 1/2 ounce soda water
- 2 dashes Angostura or Aromatic Bitters
- 1 dash Orange Bitters
