The Old Fashioned - to be served at the first dance
Suave and sophisticated, the Old Fashioned cocktail was the cocktail of choice in many bars in the 1970s. This cocktail combines whiskey, sugar syrup and Angostura bitters topped with ice and served in a lowball cocktail glass. A cocktail that can be enjoyed throughout your wedding day, we'd suggest serving an Old Fashioned before your first dance, for guests to enjoy while they toast to your special moment."
