Originally named the “whiskey cocktail” up until the late 1800s. 

The original version of the cocktail, was a sugar cube generously wetted with bitters and joined by several blocks of ice, the glass was then warmed by a couple of ounces of American whiskey. 

Below is a select list of old fashioned cocktails using some of our favorite spirits, stirred down over ice with sugar syrup & bitters, finished with an orange rind and an optional sour cherry.
