Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is one of the oldest known cocktails, with origins dating back to the early 19th century. It was originally crafted as a simple mix of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters—a “fashioned” way of making cocktails at the time. Legend has it that the drink gained popularity in the 1880s at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, where it was made with bourbon and eventually became a barroom staple. The beauty of the Old Fashioned lies in its simplicity and balance, making it an excellent candidate for a mocktail. Using non-alcoholic whiskey, you still get the rich, smoky, and bittersweet notes, along with the signature orange peel and cherry garnish. Its minimal ingredients allow the complex flavors to shine through, offering a refined and timeless mocktail experience.
