Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is the O.G. of cocktails—simple, strong, and timeless. Dating back to the early 1800s, this drink sticks to the basics: whiskey (bourbon or rye), sugar, bitters, and a twist of orange. No flashy ingredients, just a perfectly balanced sip that lets the spirit shine. Served over a big ice cube and stirred, not shaken, the Old Fashioned is proof that sometimes, less is more.
