Old Fashioned

Origins

Sadly neglected these days, the Old-Fashioned is the ur-cocktail. Originally — in 1806, at least, which is good enough for us — a “cock tail” was a morning drink made up of a little water, a little sugar, a lot of liquor, and a couple splashes of bitters – Make it with whiskey, and you have an Old-Fashioned.
