The old fashioned cocktail is one of the classic drinks that many enjoy. It is a very old drink like the name implies. Most believe it was first made in 1880 by a bartender and esteemed bourbon aristocrat, James E. Pepper. The drink was said to have been first invented in Louisville. From there it then gained popularity and became the drink we know it today.
This cocktail is made with muddling sugar with bitters and then you add whiskey. It is sometimes served with an orange slice or cocktail cherry. To finish it off you serve it in an old fashioned glass and maybe poured over ice, however you prefer.
