An Old Fashioned cocktail has a unique taste that combines sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness. The sweetness comes from the sugar cube or simple syrup used in the recipe, while the bitterness is provided by the Angostura bitters. The spiciness is a result of the rye or bourbon whiskey used in the cocktail.<\/p>\n

The aroma of the Old Fashioned is also distinctive, with notes of orange, caramel, and spice that greet you at the first sip. The orange peel garnish adds a citrusy aroma to the drink, making it even more inviting.<\/p>\n

Despite the presence of bitters in the cocktail, the Old Fashioned is still a pretty sweet drink. Each serving of Old Fashioned will contain around 4 grams of sugar, and you’ll likely get an extra hint of sweetness right till the end from the sugar cubes.<\/p>\n

The taste of an Old Fashioned can vary depending on the type and quality of whiskey used. Rye whiskey is spicier and drier than bourbon, which is sweeter and smoother. Some people even use a combination of both types of whiskey to achieve the perfect taste.<\/p>\n
