Old Fashioneds are the quintessential cocktail of the mid-west. It’s also one of the simplest drinks to make and can be modified for many different kinds of alcohol. This non-traditional recipe is an easy way to recreate one of the first cocktails ever mixed.
Whiskey old fashioneds are traditional and loved by many. This recipe, however, uses pineapple rum to put a twist on this old time cocktail.
Jackson Cannon, co-owner and bar manager of The Hawthorne bar in Boston created this recipe to prove that old fashioneds can still be modified and made (dare we say) better and easier to make at home.
