Origin story
The Old Fashioned originated in the early 19th century, primarily in the United States, as a simple whiskey cocktail that emphasized the spirit itself. It gained popularity as a classic drink among gentlemen in the 1880s, often ordered as a 'whiskey cocktail' before evolving into its current name.
