What is a trend anyway? Or a trend in cocktails? You can think of it as a development and change that people adopt in the way they behave and at a certain point in time it is ripe enough to penetrate the world of intoxication as well... such as the "craft" boutique culture and consumerism from a place of a consumer with knowledge and style and of course the followers who follow those leaders.

The luck is that there is always a readiness of the lovers of alcohol and lovers of cocktails (who are really not the same people always) to explore new worlds and bring new alcoholic drinks into their homes and enjoy a renaissance around past drinks that return to the shelves for production and are integrated into the home bar and cocktail.

There is no doubt that this is the best time to enjoy cocktails. Today, if you go to a successful cocktail bar, yes even in Tel Aviv, you can enjoy drinks that were popular in New York in the 19th century, in Hawaii in the 1970s, and Paris and London in the 1930s, and there are the most interesting and my favorite ones, which are the drinks and cocktails that came back and were rediscovered from the old world, and today we enjoy them in our drinking In the leisure as we spend today, there is no example of a more endearing and familiar illustration than the Old Fashion of recent years.

So, Old Fashioned anyone? Several leading websites such as drinking business and Imbibe have named it the best selling cocktail in the US and possibly the world in recent years... Another well-known trivia is the first appearance of any cocktail in history, this appearance actually describes the preparation of an Old Fashioned for every beginner bartender and some would say that the Old Fashioned is the cocktail The first in history...

This is what was written in an American magazine in 1806 and describes that mixed drink which is: "stimulating spirits, consisting of alcohol of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters." Well, what is this if not a recipe for an Old Fashion? And there is also the first appearance under the name of the Old Fashion cocktail, in a cocktail book, in 1882 "The Bartender's Guide" by Harry Johnson but with all due respect to vintage magazines from 19th century Manhattan or books Bar originals we found in the ingredients, today's Old Fashion began to receive the title "trendy" somewhere in the first season, the first episode of a new mystery series that aired on July 17, 2007, and so even before we know Don Draper's name or his occupation, we first learn the His drink preference. "Do it again" he tells the waiter "Old fashion" and that's how the Mad Man series begins. First he sets up some old fashioned glasses and pops a sugar cube and a cherry in both. Each cube is crushed with Angostura bitters. He reaches for an old Oberolt-style rye whiskey (he's at a Kentucky Derby party in the country, and there's no bourbon behind the bar), a glass full of ice, and from there it's pretty clear... Don Draper has turned every shy man into a proud cocktail lover, because whiskey is good, bitter It's wonderful, some water and the sweet and who doesn't like a cherry... and I actually drink whiskey but for fun.

A simple and favorite homemade recipe:

60 ml Woodford Reserve Bourbon

1.5 teaspoons of sugar or 15 ml of sugar water

5 slices of aromatic bitters (angostura or other)

Stir over a glass full of ice until you feel stagnation in the glass

Filter and pour over 3-5 fresh ice cubes and garnish with orange peel and cherry
