The Bourbon Old Fashioned
The Bourbon Old Fashioned is the benchmark cocktail for a reason. It’s all about balance, and using a high-rye, high-proof bourbon is the secret. That assertive spice cuts through the rich Demerara and bitters beautifully, creating a drink that’s simple, direct, and just plain delicious.
