The History Behind Old Fashioned Drinks

Old fashioned was simply referred to as a ‘cocktail’ during the first half of the 19th century. However, after the 1850s, different liqueurs began to be added to cocktails, making them more and more complex.

Therefore, people who preferred the basic cocktails from the early 19th century started referring to them as ‘old fashioned, thus the name stuck.

By the late 19th century, old-fashioned cocktails were made generally with rye whiskeys and bourbon-based old fashioned.

The original simple old fashioned recipe started to get tweaked by the 20th century, when first gin, and then other spirits were used to put different spins on the cocktail.
