Gathering Events’ Old Fashioned

The original cocktail. Dating back to the 1850’s, the Old Fashioned is a simple yet impressive classic. It’s a great way to dress up your favourite whiskey, bourbon or rum, using only a few ingredients and served over ice, the idea of this cocktail is to really showcase the spirit. As this cocktail has such a long history, it’s no surprise it has variations today but this classic version is one of our favourites.
