The ULTIMATE Old Fashioned list

Get the merch! 👉 https://exlsv.com/collections/anders-erickson Today we’re making 8 variations on the Old Fashioned! The classic formula is simple: spirit, sugar, bitters, and water. That’s all you need. However, over the last 150+ years countless variations have evolved from that template. This lineup consists of just a small fraction of drinks going by the name Old Fashioned. I wouldn’t recommend trying these recipes all at once. Unless, of course, you’re making a video on the topic. Cheers!
