Old Fashioned-Cocktail
The Old Fashioned Cocktail was invented at the Pendennis Club, a gentleman’s club in1881 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. But another theory is that a gentleman called James Pepper, bartender and bourbon aristocrat, was said to have invented the drink in Louisville, before he brought the recipe to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Bar in New York City.
This is a short and enjoyable cocktail too! It is also very easy to make!
