History
The Old Fashioned Cocktail is a short drink made with bourbon, sugar and Angostura Bitters. Its origin is uncertain but the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky in the United States is often mentioned as being the originator of this recipe. In 1862 the recipe for a "Whiskey Cocktail" was published in "Cocktails: How to mix drinks" by Jerry Thomas, very close to the Old Fashioned this recipe could be its ancestor.
