Drink Recipes - Old Fashioned

Possibly the first drink to be called a cocktail. It is traditionally served in a short, round, 8-12 ounce tumbler-like glass, called an Old-Fashioned glass, named after the drink.

There is great contention on the proper way to make an Old Fashioned. Here is one recipe:

50 ml rye whiskey or Bourbon
splash of simple syrup or 1 cube (3.6 g) sugar and just enough water to dissolve it
2 dashes bitters
Old Fashioned glass

Place sugar (or syrup), bitters, and water in old-fashioned glass Crush sugar if needed and coat glass. Add 2-3 cubes ice and whiskey. Garnish with twist

Most modern recipes top off an Old Fashioned cocktail with soda water.

Many bartenders add fruit, typically an orange slice, and muddle it with the sugar before adding the whiskey.

An 1895 recipe specifies the following: Dissolve a small lump (about 3 g) of sugar with a little water in a whiskey-glass; add two dashes Angostura bitters, a small piece ice, a piece lemon-peel, one jigger (44 ml) whiskey. Mix with small bar-spoon and serve, leaving spoon in glass.
