BLAC Happy Hour Classics: Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe

There may be no better test of a bartender’s mettle than ordering an Old Fashioned. The old fashioned is a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters and water, adding whiskey (typically rye or bourbon), and garnishing with an orange slice or zest and a cocktail cherry. It is traditionally served with ice in an old fashioned glass (also known as a rocks glass). BLAC added some Uncle Nearest 1856 as our Black-owned award-winning blend distilled, aged, 100 proof rye whiskey to make this classic Old Fashion cocktail.
