About this listen

Have you ever wanted to sip on liquid history while feeling like the classiest person in the room? The Old Fashioned is your passport to the storied world of one of the most legendary cocktails. This audiobook is part guide, part love letter, and part subtle reminder that sometimes the best things in life come with bourbon and bitters. Whether you're a cocktail newbie or a seasoned shaker-wielding pro, this book will have you stirring (or muddling) your way to Old Fashioned greatness with a grin on your face and a glass in hand.

Within this audiobook, you’ll learn about the origins of this classic drink, complete with enough fun facts to impress your friends and enough wit to keep you entertained. Find out how 19th-century barkeeps accidentally created an enduring masterpiece while probably wearing questionable suspenders. We’ll walk you through traditional recipes, bold variations, and a few daring twists (because who doesn’t love a little rebellion in their cocktail shaker?). Plus, you’ll get pro tips on glassware, ice, and the eternal garnish debate: orange peel, cherry, neither or both?

But this isn’t just a how-to—it’s a celebration of the Old Fashioned’s swagger. With cheeky anecdotes, cocktail trivia, and a splash of humor, The Old Fashioned will make you the life of every cocktail hour and the undisputed monarch of happy hour banter.

So grab a bottle of your favorite whiskey, press play, and prepare to mix drinks and laughter in equal measure.
