You can’t beat a classic cocktail, there’s a reason why these cocktails are still popular and have stood the test of time. The ‘Old Fashioned’ cocktails work well all year, they are warming in the winter and refreshing in the summer months.
It’s reported that the word ‘cocktail’ first appeared in 1806, with a new style using more ingredients hitting the bars in the 1860-70′s, this is when the ‘old-fashioned’ became popular, with some drinkers preferring the old style drinks.
You can make an ‘Old Fashioned’ using your favourite spirit(s), whiskey, gin, tequila, brandy etc, on this occasion we’ve selected rum and whiskey.
