As its name suggests, the Old-Fashioned enamel pin represents a bygone era. “The Old-Fashioned was a drinker’s plea for a saner, quieter, slower life,” writes David Wondrich in his 2007 book, Imbibe!
Its name harks back to this very plea for simplicity—before the modern, adulterated cocktails of the 1890s, which had abandoned the definitive cocktail construction of spirit, bitters, sugar, and water with the unsanctioned additions of Chartreuse, maraschino, vermouth, and other modifiers. The Old-Fashioned’s relative simplicity, meanwhile, is what has allowed it to endure for generations.
