Old Fashioned Recipe

In all its simplicity, the Old Fashioned remains as relevant and appreciated as when it first captured drinkers' interest 200 years ago. When it comes to an Old Fashioned, the rule of thumb is to use a good bourbon you would sip by itself. There are many other cocktails out there designed to mask subpar alcohol, but an Old Fashioned is not one of them.
