Old fashioned cocktail recipe.The recipe for the Old Fashioned appeared in a bar in Louisville, Kentucky in the late 1800s. The whiskey used was a locally produced bourbon called “Old 1776”. That's why this cocktail is called an Old Fashioned.

A sugar cube dipped in bitterness, a shot of whiskey and a slice of orange peel, and an ice ball intertwined with the richly sweet whiskey slowly release the aroma of the drink from the ice ball in the glass. Oranges, lemons, limes and lime juice are squeezed into the whisky and the whisky begins to embrace the fruit, filling the air with its aroma.
