Old Fashioned

King of the cocktails is the Old Fashioned – and that’s six years straight this vanguard drink of the classic cocktail revival has topped the polls. The Old Fashioned shows no sign of waning – indeed, this American whiskey classic is picking up pace. Almost 35% of bars said it was their top selling classic. Make it with bourbon, or rye as they probably did way back when. Mastermind of the classics David Wondrich says: “One sugar cube wetted with three dashes of Angostura bitters and a little soda, crushed, stirred with a large ice cube and two ounces of rye.”
