The Old Fashioned, a timeless classic, is a combination of whiskey, spices and sweetness, that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate drinkers with its effortless elegance for over two centuries.
The secret to a perfect Old Fashioned lies in using a top-notch Bourbon. To keep it true to its 19th-century roots, use granulated sugar or a sugar cubes. For a more contemporary twist, use a simple syrup. Just keep in mind that the added water from the syrup may affect the drink.
