“The Old Fashioned”…first coctail every, invented at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

One shot of Bourbon (Makers Mark), a little Simple Syrup (sugar water), one cherry and one smashed lemon peel or orange, served room temp, or with one ice cube.

I’ve had it at the Pendennis Club on Derby weekend…the drink is amazing!

Well, the writer is wrong about the Long Island Iced Tea because I was drinking them before 1976 and read about them before that, too.

My parents drank them in the 40s.

The story I have always heard is that it was invented during prohabition and was designed to look like actually iced tea.

There are probably about 30 other drink names that I could read about on this list, but these on here are very interesting! I am right there with Caipirinha . . . I would kindof like to know what that means, since it is so hard to say maybe I would respect it more. Throw mojito on my list of questionables too! Maybe a part II to this post?
