Interesting Facts

The Old-Fashioned cocktail gained renewed interest in the early 2000s, thanks in part to its prominent role on the hit television show Mad Men. The show's main character, Don Draper was often seen sipping on the classic cocktail, which helped to popularise it among a new generation of drinkers.
