Cocktail Recipe: The English Distillery Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned, a timeless cocktail, traces its origins to the early 19th century. This classic drink embodies simplicity and elegance, featuring a blend of bourbon or whiskey, sugar, aromatic bitters, and a citrus twist. The result is a sophisticated, spirit-forward libation that celebrates the purity of its ingredients.
With a rich amber hue and a balanced flavour profile, the Old Fashioned has endured as a symbol of mixology's heritage, remaining a favourite among connoisseurs and casual imbibers alike.
