The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that has been enjoyed for over two centuries. It is believed to have originated in the early 1800s in the United States. The classic version of this cocktail is made by muddling a sugar cube with bitters, adding a measure of whiskey or bourbon, and finishing it off with a twist of orange peel.

Bitters play a significant role in the creation of an Old Fashioned, as they provide the cocktail with its signature flavour and aroma. 

Today, the Old Fashioned remains a popular cocktail, enjoyed by many for its rich history and unique flavour profile. Its origins may be rooted in the early 19th century, but its enduring popularity is a testament to the enduring appeal of this timeless classic.
