📜 History

The Old Fashioned is one of the oldest recorded cocktails, with references to the style dating to the early 1800s. The non-alcoholic version became widely popular after 2015 as NA spirit brands developed oak-forward alternatives. By the mid-2020s, zero-proof Old Fashioneds had become a menu staple at sober bars and mainstream restaurants seeking to serve inclusive, spirit-forward options.
