Ahh the old fashioned, probably the most popular and classic bourbon cocktail. There are plenty of ways to dress up an old fashioned. The most popular version of this cocktail is to try it “smoked.” This means that the bartender will fill the glass with smoke before pouring the drink, leaving behind a smoky scent and taste. Yelp has a list of places in Tampa with the best old fashion’s, but we’ve gathered a list of places that takes the drink above and beyond its usual flavors.
The old fashioned is a pretty simple cocktail to make, but we’ve seen a lot of unusual ways to make it. This drink is made of 2 ounces of bourbon whiskey, a couple dashes of Angostura bitters, and 1/4 ounce of simple syrup. After combining all ingredients in a cocktail glass, you stir it and pour over a big ice cube. Typically, the old fashioned is garnished with an orange.
