I was looking through classic cocktails that would be perfect on a cold winter night, and decided there is really nothing better than an Old Fashioned Brandy Cocktail!
I had forgotten how much I liked an Old Fashioned Brandy Cocktail… when I made it for this post, I had two!
This recipe is very close to the recipe in the Modern American Drinks, 1895 cocktail recipe book. I use a specific amount of ingredients where as the Modern American Drinks, 1895 lists generals like “small amount” and “lump of ice”. Still, the Modern American Drinks, 1895 has some wonderful classic recipes you can build on if you like to try the classics!
As always, drink responsibly and please don’t drink and drive.
