Updated: May 8

A simple, spirit-forward classic made with whisky, sugar and bitters.


The Old Fashioned is often treated as one of the original cocktail templates, and for good reason. Once you understand the basic combination of spirit, sweetness, bitters and dilution, it becomes one of the easiest drinks to adjust, twist and make your own.

Whisky, sugar and bitters.

60ml Whisky

2 dashes aromatic bitters, such as Angostura
