The Old Fashioned is such a simple cocktail, but slight changes to the ingredients can greatly change the flavor profile.

The origins of the Old Fashioned can be traced back to the early 1800s, when it was simply called the “whiskey cocktail.” The first recorded definition of it appeared in a newspaper from 1806, describing it as a combination of spirits, sugar, water and bitters. This simple yet elegant combination laid the groundwork for what would later become the Old Fashioned.
