Old Fashioned
For many, the Old Fashioned is the cocktail to end all cocktails. The longstanding rumor in the spirits industry is that it got its name from people ordering a cocktail the “old-fashioned way.” But, the very first true Old Fashioned was created in Louisville, Kentucky at a private social club called The Pendennis in the 1880’s. James E. Pepper, bartender and esteemed bourbon aristocrat, invented the drink and then took it to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York City. Thus, a star was born.
