Created in Louisville, Kentucky in 1881, the Old-Fashioned found its spiritual home at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York City. Cognac, warm and aromatically spiced, a dash of bitters and sweet syrup all blend perfectly to make up this legendary cocktail.
Recipe
- Drop bitters into an Old-Fashioned glass filled with ice cubes.
- Add a splash of water and the syrup.
- Pour in the Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège slowly.
- Garnish with a twist of orange.
