Old Fashioned Cocktail Video Drink Recipe

The first use of the specific name “Old Fashioned” was for a Bourbon whiskey cocktail in the 1880s, at the Pendennis Club, a gentleman’s club in Louisville, Kentucky. The recipe is said to have been invented by a bartender at that club, and popularized by a club member and bourbon distiller, Colonel James E. Pepper. The apparently earliest written recipe, from 1895, specifies the following: Dissolve a small lump of sugar with a little water in a whiskey-glass; add two dashes Angostura bitters, a small piece ice, a piece lemon-peel, one jigger or 1.5 ounces whiskey. Mix with small bar-spoon and serve, leaving spoon in glass.
My version is decidedly different and not necessarily ‘classic’. Shown in my video is what the modern drinker ‘expects’ in a good ‘old fashioned’. THIS IS NOT THE END ALL RECIPE, it’s just a very tasty drink that has evolved for 130 years. Cheers!
