The Old Fashioned is a cocktail, possibly the first drink to be called a cocktail. It is traditionally served in a short, round, 8-12 ounce tumbler-like glass, called an Old-Fashioned glass, named after the drink.
The Old Fashioned is one of six basic drinks listed in David A. Embury’s classic The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks.
