Description:

An Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail traditionally made with whiskey (such as bourbon or rye), sugar, bitters, and a twist of citrus rind, usually orange. It is one of the oldest known cocktails and is typically served in a short, round tumbler known as an "old fashioned glass." The drink is known for its simple yet robust flavor, characterized by the sweetness of the sugar, the aromatic bitters, and the warming depth of the whiskey, all balanced with a hint of citrus.
