Comments:
The term cocktail was coined
in 1806 to describe a mixture
of a spirit, a sweetener,
bitters, and water. In 1882 the
recipe was recorded as an
Old-Fashioned cocktail.
Here Earl Grey syrup replaces
the original sugar, and the
melting ice replaces the water
in the original recipe. So, a new
Old-Fashioned? No. Just a
delicious full-bodied version
of the old Old-Fashioned.
