Old Fashioned

The original cocktail — a whiskey-forward sipper sweetened with a whisper of sugar and rounded out with aromatic bitters. Nothing to hide behind.

0/3

Served in a Old Fashioned / Rocks. Serve over a single large cube to slow dilution. The sturdy base supports muddling. Express citrus peels over the surface before dropping in.
