American tavern owners caused a sensation in the late eighteenth
century when they mixed sugar, water, bitters, and whiskey and
served the drink with rooster feather stirrers. The modern version
of this "original cocktail," widely known as the Old Fashioned, is
a standard in any bartender's repertoire and holds the distinction
of being the only mixed drink ever to rival the Martini in
popularity. In The Old Fashioned, Gourmand Award--winning author
Albert W. A. Schmid profiles the many people and places that have
contributed to the drink's legend since its origin. This satisfying
book explores the history of the Old Fashioned through its
ingredients and accessories -- a rocks glass, rye whiskey or
bourbon, sugar, bitters, and orange zest to garnish -- and details
the cocktail's surprising influence on the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
and the Broadway musical scene, as well as its curious connection
to the SAT college entrance examination. Schmid also considers the
impact of various bourbons on the taste of the drink and reviews
the timeless debate about whether to muddle. This spirited guide is
an entertaining and refreshing read, featuring a handpicked
selection of recipes along with delicious details about the
particularities that arose with each new variation. Perfect for
anyone with a passion for mixology or bourbon, The Old Fashioned is
a cocktail book for all seasons.
