Classic Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe

Making a classic old fashioned recipe can be quite a ritualistic moment and even highly debated as to how it should be made. This cocktail recipe happens to be my favorite way to build a bourbon old fashioned.

Personally, I’m not adamant as to how it should be created, but I do lean towards this recipe version intensely. If you feel it should have cherries, have cherries, and I might even join you for one. Want to add a splash of fizzy water, then please do. We all have our own interpretations of how an old fashioned should be handled and that is perfectly all right by me.

‘Tis the season to sit by the fire, lingering and sipping on a classic cocktail, bourbon whiskey at it’s best.

What is an Old Fashioned Cocktail?

One of the simplest mixed drinks, the old fashioned cocktail consists of your choice of whiskey, I prefer bourbon or Southern Comfort, a bit of sugar, and Angostura bitters. Some might add a splash of water, something I do to help dissolve the sugar, and others would top it off with a fizzy water such as club soda.
