Item Description
Nearly stomped out of existence by its fruity mid-twentieth century incarnations, the original Old Fashioned is as traditional cocktail as they come: It’s a simple mix of spirits, sugar, bitters and water that first appeared in print in 1806, making it the first printed recipe for a cocktail. During Prohibition the recipe veered into odd territory, with fruit and cherries added to distract from the crude spirits that were available then. After repeal, it was the imposter version that stuck until the recent cocktail revival brought the original recipe back from the brink of extension. This item includes everything you need for the perfect old fashioned. You just add the ice.
