Old Fashioned | The Bishop(Featured Chef by Matthew Tedford, The Bishop, Albany, NY)
Classic recipe by Matthew Tedford, The Bishop, Albany, NY.
This late nineteenth century cocktail has its origins in earlier 1850s cocktails that made use of orange curaçao, absinthe and other liqueurs, as well as whiskey. When such whiskey-based drinks came back into fashion late in the century, they were dubbed "old-fashioneds" with one version containing rye, bitters, water and sugar surging in popularity from Louisville, KY, to NYC's Waldorf-Astoria. And it's the classic we know as an Old Fashioned today.
