Old Fashioned Cocktail
The classic Old Fashioned is whiskey with a bit of sugar, aromatic bitters, and dilution in some form, from a splash of either water or club soda. The earliest mention of an Old Fashioned–style drink is from 1806: Drinks writer Robert Simonson, author of The Old-Fashioned: The Story of the World’s First Classic Cocktail, calls this “the primordial cocktail,” older than either the martini or the Manhattan Drink.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
- 2 dash angostura bitters
- 1 barspoon club soda or water
- 2 ounce rye or bourbon whiskey
- ice preferably a single large cube
