The Old Fashioned is now in fashion. This old school (and seriously old) cocktail is said to have been invented by James E. Pepper, a bartender and acclaimed bourbon aristocrat. The drink was initially created in Louisville in 1880, at which point Pepper then took the recipe to the Waldorf-Astoria bar in New York City. Supposedly, this is where The Spiced Old Fashioned was born, and where it went on to claim fame and glory as a renowned and celebrated cocktail.
