[@shayflynn6418]

Bwahahahaha😂

[@eLus1ve2991]

Literally took so long to make, it became an ancient fashion

[@mikesboozereview9642]

No. A fossilized fashioned.

[@user-tu2yz1bm1s]

As a Louisvillian I have pulled up a million old fashioned tutorials for out of state friends. Yours is the only one I've found that's correct! Well done!

[@cindypattana6071]

Are you sure there's enough bourbon in there?

[@rageblanket2139]

cindy pattana No such thing as too much bourbon. Just like no such thing as too much bacon!

[@rehpotsirhc123]

Real drinks are almost all booze, you know that right?

[@mwells219]

I have a rule. Any time someone says anything about the amount of bourboun in my drink is buying the next one.

[@itsallaboutthecocktail]

that's a good rule!

[@sax1607]

@The No.1 Guy Nope 2oz

[@gat166]

why the hate? if i see a bartender puttin that much in my drink hes getting a tip forsure lol

[@sicktoast]

You belong at a sports bar my friend. Going to a real bar isn't about getting "drunk". It's about enjoying a beautifully made, and tasting cocktail.

[@alejandrocassio792]

Tyler Karon you nailed it nailed it nailed it I work on a upscale industry of course I start on a sport bar like the other guy it's not about the alcohol it's about the quality of the drink when they say pour some more it when you know they are cheap bastards lads and their tip it's shit lol

[@TravelBar22]

gat166 yep! You'll give him a "good" tip, but you'll be the one 😂 cuz the rest of people waiting will hate this guy, and hate you too for sure for have ordered this fkkng drink!!! 👊🏻

[@rowlandbond]

You can make a better tasting old fashioned that's an actual old fashioned... with dem syrup(lets just skip the muddling and get right to what we want with better consistency, bitters of your choice... 2oz of bourbon ice stir, drop it over a big rock ice... and that will take you 45 seconds and taste better than whatever this monstrosity. And the 5 dollar tip you give this guy.. i can make for 2 different customers with 2 different hands in 3/4ths the time.

[@piccoljo]

I don't know guys I think they could've added a few more steps.

[@bonvant1664]

LOL, a half hour later he is ready for the next customer

[@FaresAmari]

I literally laughed out loud reading this comment.

[@Ladco77]

An excellent example that you can put all the right ingredients together in the wrong way.

[@dominicanbombshell192]

What happened to the soda??? And wrong cherry...

[@chazatrueblue]

The old fashioned is one of the most simplistic cocktails going. This was made a lot more difficult then needed lol

[@DrinkInDigital]

Keeping it simple is key for the classics!

[@SmifLaly]

Dude... that's gonna be one STRONG Old Fashioned, I say this as a Marine vet. Sheesh!!!

[@ericktellez7632]

No kidding, you wont even taste the sugar and bitters after almost 5 oz of whiskey

[@QJby1Hod]

If you're serving me three shots for the price of one, I can't complain! ;-)

[@resonantdog]

From Harry Johnson's Bartenders guide. Published in 1882. “OLD FASHIONED WHISKEY COCKTAIL. Take a whiskey tumbler, and put into it: 1/4 of a teaspoonful of sugar; 2 small lumps of ice; 2 or 3 dashes of bitters (Boker's genuine only); 1 or 2 dashes of curacoa or absinthe if required; 1 wine glass of whiskey; Stir up well with a spoon until the ingredients are well mixed, squeeze a piece of lemon peel on top, and serve, in the same glass.” Excerpt From: Harry Johnson, “Harry Johnson's Bartenders' Manual.”

[@HDitzzDH]

I usually like to put at least 5-6 dashes of bitters directly into the glass, it's the combination of the angostura, bourbon and the flavor or orange that really makes a good old fashioned, doesn't even need ice cubes though it only makes the drink very watery after a few minutes and I certainly don't need any cherries or other fruits, orange peel is enough.

[@TotalbadassX]

I remember trying to make an old fashioned. I was stirring it from old fashion to super old fashion. The customer was just like, just give to me🤣🤣🤣

[@AJGalecki]

You can make an Old Fashioned 50 different ways using any assortment of sugar, bitters, fruit, and Whiskey. Its one of those things that people will always have an opinion about. Muddle the orange, don't muddle, add cherry, no cherry, 7 dashes of bitters, two dashes, Bourbon, Rye, simple, use a sugar cube, you're stirring too long, etc, etc.

[@iainjames03]

Wow. Insightful. I love it when people question you/object to your opinion/say you're 'wrong' and yet completely fail to give any reason or opinion or argument of their own. I've been told in the past that I shouldn't rise to trolls, though.

[@TheHomeExpert5]

After he tasted it the first time, did he say the word garbage? That's what I heard. This guy is really something!

[@oldiesgeek454]

@Read The thing I couldn't understand, is when he pointed out the Bourbon and announced it, it didn't sound like he said Bourbon... In fact, I still don't know what he called it. 🤔

[@OMGmyFACE]

"How to make an Old Fashioned in 14 steps while also almost knocking over a few things and watering down the drink because you stir it for a couple of minutes." Thanks, Jack's Cocktail School.

[@spankminister]

Typical Old Fashioned has 1.5 to 2 ounces of whiskey, he stirs this longer but uses 3 oz total to compensate. Why is no one using their head?

[@robertsullivan4773]

@@spankminister I was going to say the same thing that was a supercharged old fashion nothing watered down about it at all. He just has to get faster making it.

This is possibly the most amateur display of mixology I've ever had the misfortune to observe. Ghastly.

[@daveledoux865]

Only need one drink from this guy

[@dukefan3168]

Thank God...someone will some cocktail sophistication. This was the exact recipe i was using for a long time, but I've found two tweaks that have been fantastic... 1.) replace regan's with angostura orange (awesome bitters) and 2.) use a lemon peel as a zest instead of the orange... I like the angostura orange because it tastes more like orange flavor from the zest rather than the pulp and the lemon is great on the nose. Let me know what you think!

[@arkatoz]

Agreed with everyone here about the cherry and cherry syrup, it is optional so feel free to add or omit to taste. Personally I like an original old fashioned sans cherry, but it's a nice modern twist to a classic. Also the napkin is just to catch excess bitters and to prevent splashing; common practice in trendy bars, but again optional.

[@mikesboozereview9642]

I could've made that in way fewer steps. I made one with orange bitters along with the Angostura and left out the orange peel. Still tasted amazing.

[@Soundpolitic]

What in blazes is the deal with the napkin on top of the glass?????

[@yeahhottie]

U mean glass on top of napkin

[@Soundpolitic]

+melnyc belo No, I mean how at 0:35 in the video he puts a napkin on top of the glass, places the sugar cube on top of the napkin on top of the glass, dashes the bitters on the cube sitting on top of the napkin, and then proceeds to drop the sugar cube into the glass. This is a waste of a napkin, bitters, and time. You're supposed to put the sugar cube directly into the glass and dash the bitters on top and then muddle with about a teaspoon of water (not god damn cherry syrup for crying out loud). This is honestly one of the worst instructional videos on how to make an Old Fashioned I've ever seen from top to bottom.

[@KingColliwog]

+Colin Abele I think the point is to have exactly as much bitter as the sugar cube will soak and catch the extra in the napkin. Also it's to look like you're super knowledgeable and fancy cause you did a fancy trick The cherry juice is probably ok with that much bourbon. Many people will muddle a cherry in their old fashioned so it's similar. Still agree with you that this is a terrible old fashioned

[@yeahhottie]

Colin Abele oh I see!!

[@michaelbauers8800]

+KingColliwog I agree that was the purpose

[@contrabandjoe7974]

If this establishment isn't charging about $35 bucks for this drink, this bar is loosing serious cash....

[@chucku.farley9444]

At two shots I thought perfect. 3...I better not be driving home for the next hour or so.

[@lizardwarz-7272]

Right when he did that thing with the napkin... I already know he doesn't know wtf he's doing.

[@viciouswolf1111]

Nah, some people like a less bitter cocktail. I'd have thrown 3-4 dashes in the glass, but it's not a strict recipe. Apart from the napkin and the cherry, Everything he did was perfect. Everyone has their perfect Old Fashioned.

[@lizardwarz-7272]

if they like less bitter they can just put less bitter.

[@viciouswolf1111]

Doomsdeal - Ah but they might only want just enoughto ensure the cube is soaked through to allow for solutions, and n more. Not how I do it, but who cares? That drink he made will still be worth drinking.

[@lizardwarz-7272]

um... are you ok? you have to smash the cube anyways, you know you don't have to soak the cube all the way right? is not necessary. His reason of adding in the napkin is clearly to be tacky. That just pure ignorant as same to what you're saying right now.

[@viciouswolf1111]

Get a grip son, and soaking it is exactly what you're doing, you ant to make a bitter sweet paste. I use more bitters, he has tried the napkin thing before, has realised that is what works for him, that the napkin gives him the amount of bitter he wants, and he has stuck with it. I can't stand people getting so damn uppity about an Old Fashioned cocktail. It is the one drink where personal experimentation is actually encouraged, yet people still think they have the right to tell others that the way they make an Old Fashioned is wrong. There is no wrong in this drink (within reason of course, you can't add coke etc.), just stop being so uptight and go chill for once.

[@ojmiv]

yeah this is just . . just no. he did way more work than needed. and yeah no if you are here and really want to make an old fashioned, go back to the search results and try again.

[@Dogtles]

OJMIV Care to make any points to defend your statement? What did he do wrong? And how would you do it?

How to make an old fashioned: Video: bourbon...stir... BOURBON...MORE BOURBON!!!

[@barsumutcu2570]

this bartender very very good , we want more video with this bartender

[@garretthildebrandt6743]

This reminds me of a time I ordered an old-fashioned in London. They aren’t really big into cocktails in the UK, most pubs had standards like espresso martinis, Negronis, etc. But I found a place that had an old-fashioned on the menu. They made it right in front of me, and... They started with a sugar cube on a napkin, like here, and then they dashed it with the bitters. Then they let it drip into the glass, removed the cube completely, poured in a shot or two of whiskey, and then filled it up with ice. No garnish. Nothing. It was whiskey flavored water with a hint of bitters and sugar.

[@DrinkInDigital]

Unfortunately this sounds like an attempt at the 'classic method' but with some confusion in the process! Old Fashioneds often suffer from 'over-thinking'

[@ericktellez7632]

Where did the napkin BS come from, that is such an odd way of doing it and frankly a more messy way as well.

[@whynotohwell]

Pouring the bitters on a napkin? cherries? this guy is high on his own farts

[@Coop8680]

The napkin catches any extra bitters so the drink doesn't get over-bitter. It's not an uncommon technique.

[@chalzsta]

whynotohwell Actually a very popular way of making an old fashion, a real bar not a TGIF, or Applebees, you would see it made this way.

[@marksmer1]

whynotohwell that's a pretty shity thing to say get it shity

[@mastertracuer]

Charles Revels you should never garnish with a cherry. That's a Manhattan garnish not an old fashioned garnish

[@samnation9887]

What are the brand name and ingredients? Your English is a bit hard for me to understand, I really love how you made it. Any Help Please

[@JoseFlores-so4ws]

Akuma they usually use angostura bitters, usually brown sugar cube, and your choice of bourbon....an old fashion was normally used with rye whisky...the cherry is not necessary

[@DrinkInDigital]

The Bourbon is Woodford Reserve! It's the only pot-distilled (using a tradition copper still) bourbon!

[@stveb]

thank you

[@cookingwithalittlespice]

Great video. Yummy

[@iainjames03]

it's not about the spirit, it's about the ice. If all you were doing was adding whisky, sugar and bitters then it shouldn't change - but you're checking for the dilution, which it what gives the drink its balance. The effects of ice will change depending on room temp, size of ice, all kinds of things. That's why you need to taste it.

[@ANCUTTER]

Not the way you make an old fashion but I'd still probably enjoy the drink.

[@MrDragon1990]

i had one be for at work first time the other day so goood

[@Tweezie1111]

to check if it the balance of ingredients are perfect. A good bartender does that usually. There is mor than sugar here. it is bitters and cherry too. For a mixologist this is important stuff to have the right balance. if not we add more of what is needed

[@Daniel-tj6mc]

Orange bitters and orange peel before dinner Dark Walnut bitters and Bourbon cherry's after dinner. love me a good old fashioned.

[@pendragonshall]

See you lightly chillled and flavored the bourbon. You almost had an old fashion there 🙄

[@sofrknasm]

See a lot of complaining and yes if you are going to work in a cocktailbar you should probably learn from another source. But if you are in a hurry and only are making one for yourself this works fine if you are just getting started mixing cocktails. This is basics and one way of doing it. Works if you just wanna get your drink on by your lonesome and hopefully gets you in to learning better ways of making an old fashioned.

[@pmg4704]

sir what you add on sugar cube in second step??

[@robcousins231]

Woodford Reserve is a nice Bourbon. I like Maker's Mark, it works well in the Old Fashioned.

[@DrinkInDigital]

Old School method but still probably delicious! We have a modern take on this classic over on our channel!

[@asrose7979]

@Daniel Warren : Wrong! A _standard shot_ is 45 cc, not 25, no matter what country you are in. In most recipes, this 45 cc is also the amount of 80° distilled spirit (18 cc or 0.6 oz of pure Ethanol) in a standard serving. A little less, 30-40 cc, when there are liqueurs, wines, apertifs or other alcohols in the mix. For example, your basic Margarita will have 38 cc of tequila and 15 cc of 40° orange liqueur, bringing the net Ethanol content to 18.5 ml. 🍹 ~🌹~ .

[@ivinolove3960]

Every cocktail can be made on many different ways. Bartender here- for the regular people: This is not the best way to make an old fashioned:)

[@ericktellez7632]

I agree, i wouldve asked him if he was doing a bit if that was my order.

[@marxpanfilo]

By the time he finishes. I could've gone around the world walking.

[@hodas2]

This is the Classic, Wisconsin dinner drink. Most here drink it with brandy though. Get your bitters from Bittercube cuz they are way better than Angustura and drink however you like, straight, sweet, sour, press, the drink can be made tons of different ways and almost all are delicious

[@TheHomeExpert5]

Step one mix bourbon with a little bit of cherry juice. Step 2 drink.

[@DrinkInDigital]

Interesting replacement for the conventional sugar cube or sugar syrup!

[@lcspies]

The bourbon he used was Woodford Reserve... my favorite.

[@robertsullivan4773]

B+ liked the touch of cherry juice. I have no idea what soaking the napkin in the beginning was all about. Lastly I'm going to have to assume that was three ounces of Bourbon which makes it a kick ass old fashion.

[@DrinkInDigital]

The napkin was often used to 'soak' the excess bitters so that only the amount that can fit in the sugar cube would go in the drink! Nowadays people prefer more complexity of flavour so we see the napkin less and less!

[@andreasnorrlund4329]

In my opinion this is way to much bourbon.. lol

+Alex Esca Three shots is equivalent to 4 1/2 oz of bourbon. What a terrible recipe. Only 2 oz of whiskey is required for this drink. This guy is an amateur.

[@danielwarren3138]

No it isn't, in the UK (where this was filmed) 25 ml is a standard shot, 3 shots (75 ml) is about 2.6 fl oz.

[@alnotbiggaytho7124]

real men dont do bourbon they do rye

[@viciouswolf1111]

To those so heavily disliking the video, the Old Fashioned has no strict rules. Everyone has their own perfect Old Fashioned. Try using a good quality blended Scotch instead of bourbon sometime, but make sure it has a high grain component, the drink needs the sweetness I'd say. #DoItYourOwnWay

[@facundocorradini]

yeah. Make it with whatever spirit you like (an old fashioned doesn't even necessarily has to be whisky; it refers to the old way of making cocktails: *spirit + sugar + bitters*, before the next generation came in with the vermouths and such) But 4 1/2 oz of booze? and that soaking the cube with bitters... way to have your bitters wasted on the napkin, and the sugar undissolved. And what's with the 3 - step dilution? that's gonna make the first cubes tiny as fuck and dilute the drink to sheer nothingness in less than 1 minute. Seriously. An old fashioned is not complicated. Get whatever spirit you fancy, add 2oz over some cubes, 3 or 4 dashes of bitters, a spoon of simple syrup, and stir. Perhaps some decent *real* maraschino cherry for garnish, and/or a twist of whatever citric you prefer. This video is so ridiculous I can't even tell if it's a parody or not.

[@viciouswolf1111]

Fair point, as I say, not how I make an Old fashioned, but if that's what he wants, fair enough. The customers will give their verdict.

[@viciouswolf1111]

A Gin old Fashioned is lovely. I just took my usual recipe, and changed the peel. Brown sugar, 3 dashes of bitters, crushed up, half the gin, ice, stir repeat. Lemon rind squeezed over and rubbed around the glass and left there. There it is. Need a saltier more flavoursome gin though. Like a Scottish coastal Gin. Blackwoods or Arbikie. :)

[@facundocorradini]

viciouswolf1111 gin always pairs better with lemon.. and even better to use orange bitters instead of aromatic (Angostura) ones. That makes a delicious drink, no doubt. But what's with adding the spirit in two steps?

[@viciouswolf1111]

Facundo Corradini Using large grain demerara sugar, just helps to dissolve the sugar a bit more and get more flavour before putting the ice. Not necessary, I just like the wee bit extra sweetness.

[@viciouswolf1111]

Good Old Fashioned. I'd have scrapped the Cherry, I don't think it needs it, but apart from that, a very nice one. Try the same recipe with Bulleit. It lets off a nice Lime juice and absinthe herb like aroma. :)

[@ZombieLincoln666]

I fucked up almost immediately - I totally forgot to use a glass

[@DJBrown1995]

For a drink that contains 4 main components (always found the cherry optional myself) this guy really likes to overcomplicate matters, I would like to note that he goes a little light on the bitters if you want to learn how to make a good one I would suggest watching the Howcast video and experiment from there. This whole soaking a sugar cube on a napkin feels almost like satire to me, he cant be serious can he?

[@Hagfan789]

I think this is closer to a Manhattan than a old fashioned..

[@lawrencespies8674]

+Hagfan789 No that is an Old Fashioned. A Manhattan has sweet vermouth in it.

[@simo78it]

Hi guys, I'm Simone. Just to let you know (if cant get it), an old-fashion (as the name says) is a cocktail created long time ago, that means, there are lots of different versions of it. Now, this video has been made few year ago, and I agree with you that is not the best version (probably the worst one). My question is: do you really think to be the owner of the original recipe?

[@jennybokowski9575]

Here's your insanely watered down drink, now that I've stirred it for you 3 separate times to dilute the fuck out of it! Enjoy! Oh, and I hope you enjoyed the wait!

[@Michael5029]

What's the point of putting the cube on a napkin when you could just put it in the glass? Also, why is it necessary to put the bourbon in 3 times when you could do it once then stir it to dilute or whatever the point of stirring is.

This is an Old Fashioned that a 50s housewife would make for her Don Draper-esque husband. Not necessarily a bad thing. Looks tasty, but not practical in a busy setting.

[@LittleTreeX]

Some of the best things take time. If I order a drink, I want it good, not quick. Too many people now days expect excellence instantly, and this is impractical. Fast is for Apple Bees.

[@silvermediastudio]

Bars that serve craft cocktails sometimes take longer. Patrons understand and accept this. If you want fast, go for house wine, vodka cranberry, or maybe a Bud Lite will be more to your liking.

who the hell in their right mind said he could run a bartending school putting a napkin on top just to hold of sugar and then dropping it into the glass excuse me sir my four-year-old brother can make a better old-fashioned than you

[@dpmcneil20]

I came here because of Mad Men. Is this really the best? I went to a bar and they served it with a lemon...

[@maxw89]

If you went to a bar and they served it with lemon, you likely found one of the few bars in America that still makes the drink correctly. This is wrong.

[@dpmcneil20]

It was also clear and not brown.

[@maxw89]

Dr. Feelgood I stand corrected. Tell me if you want the actual process. It's easily the best drink I've ever had.

[@dmgabri08]

Dr. Feelgood .... so there are a couple ways to produce an old fashioned the lemon garnish is a nod to the Sazerac, the Cajun take on this incredible drink which also includes Peychauds bitters and sometimes absinthe ... the Old Fashioned is bourbon, orange (peel or wedge), a cherry, a raw sugar cube and angustora bitters. This bartender mixed the drink too much - the drink is intended to have hints of this and that with a dominant flavor of bourbon spiced by the bitters.

[@dpmcneil20]

Nice.

[@lucaszech4070]

I sincerely do not understand why so many people are going off about the napkin on top of the glass...: It's so someone, who isn't secure with their dashes doesn't make a mess or add too much bitters if they miss the cube. Is it necessary? No, but it does not make a bad drink, does it? Personally, the napkin doesn't make the cut of the Top 3 things I would not do/recommend: First of all, 3 shots is too much; it throws off the ratios of the drink, and is an irresponsible amount to serve to a customer. Secondly, what's with the "cherry syrup"? That, in my humble opinion, has no place in that drink, especially since that syrup is essentially just more sugar, food-coloring and artificial aromas. Lastly, if you are gonna use cherries at all (which I wouldn't) use real cherries, not those lifeless, sugar and food-coloring soaked husks of flesh, that once may or may not have been a cherry in the past.

[@KYKIN89]

Woodford Reserve.... yes!

[@JoseFlores-so4ws]

That’s a great diluted old fashion “sarcasm”

[@liniann1948]

Why use a sugar cube when you have to break it. Can’t we use a tsp of sugar.

[@evanbellen]

i hate the cherry there, what do u say about it?

[@iainjames03]

I find Angostura Orange Bitters have a really unpleasant 'boiled sweet' flavour. I would let the orange flavour just come from the oils of the orange skin garnish - or maybe add a small slice of skin to the mixing glass before you stir. Bitter Truth do some damn fine orange (and other) bitters - and Fee Bro's have a new gin-barrel-aged orange bitters which sound intriguing...

[@rtj182]

im sorry is this drink called new fashioned?

Alternate title: How to Water Down an Old Fashioned and Then Ruin it With a Cherry.

[@dublin_barman4044]

The Old Fashioned from the Latter 19th century and Early 20th Century didnt have cherries, Cherries came about After the End of Prohibition, and moreso in the 50's the Original Old Fashiones used a Rhye Bourbon, its meant to be Quick and Simple, and on a Side note, placing hands on the Rim of the Glass where the Customer drinks from is not Hygienic

[@tnzfpp]

Yeah, fine. Still, I think that you should know the whisky you're using, and cherries, sugar and bitters always taste the same. In my opinion, it's fine to taste this kind of drink the first time you mix it. Of course I'm assuming the bartender knows how to exactely pour the desired amount of spirit :)
