The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail originating from the United States, often associated with 19th-century American bartending traditions. It consists of bourbon or rye whiskey, sugar, bitters, and a twist of citrus, usually orange zest. Served over ice in a short, sturdy glass, this drink balances robust spirit flavors with subtle sweetness and aromatic complexity. While it offers no significant nutritional benefits, the Old Fashioned is relatively low in calories compared to heavily sweetened cocktails, as its simple yet concentrated ingredients keep added sugars to a minimum. However, its alcoholic base does contribute to higher calorie content and should be enjoyed responsibly. The drink showcases quality whiskey and minimalistic preparation, emphasizing its artisanal appeal rather than relying on excessive mixers. Although not inherently healthy, moderation and mindful enjoyment of the Old Fashioned reflect its timeless appeal and place in cocktail culture.
