Originally known as a Whiskey Cocktail, the old-fashioned is a timeless drink with a rich history and evolved to predominantly mean a whiskey-forward drink.
Kara Newman emphasizes that the old-fashioned cocktail is meant to be personalized, allowing for variations in whiskey, sweetener, and bitters to cater to individual preferences.
For first-time makers, Angostura bitters serve as a great starting point, while adventurous drinkers can explore options like orange or chocolate bitters.
Technique matters for an old-fashioned: use large ice cubes to reduce melting, stir for optimal chilling and dilution, and garnish with orange or a Luxardo cherry.
