The Old Fashioned is my favorite drink. It introduced me to whiskey and mixology plus it’s simple and versatile. I think it’s easy to judge if a bar has good cocktails based solely on their Old Fashioned. What are your opinions, favorite variations, etc?
It’s my go-to and I judge the quality of the bar on their ability to make a good one. In my city I have a small list of places I go nearly weekly and that’s all I order. My wife enjoys trying a bunch of different things so we make sure it’s all quality, all the time.
