Description

A complete history of one of the most world’s most iconic cocktails–now the poster child of the up to date cocktail revival–with fifty recipes for classic variations in addition to up to date updates.

No single cocktail is as iconic, as beloved, or as discussed and fought-over as the Old-Fashioned. Its formula is simple: just whiskey, bitters, sugar, and ice. But how you combine those ingredients—in what proportion, the use of which brands, and with what sort of garnish—is the subject of much impassioned debate.

The Old-Fashioned is the spirited, delightfully unexpected story of this renowned and essential drink: its birth as the ur-cocktail in the nineteenth century, darker days in the throes of Prohibition, re-ascension in the 1950s and 1960s (as portrayed and re-popularized by Don Draper on Mad Men), and renaissance as the star of the up to date craft cocktail movement.

Also featured are more than forty cocktail recipes, including classic variations, regional twists, and up to date updates from top bartenders around the country. All are accessible, delicious, and elegant in their simplicity, demonstrating the versatility and timelessness of the Old-Fashioned formula. 

With its rich history, stunning photography, and impeccable recipes, The Old-Fashioned is a party of one of The usa’s greatest bibulous achievements. This can be a necessary addition to any true whiskey- or cocktail-lover’s bookshelf, and destined to change into a classic on par with its namesake beverage.
