Posted this on the Atlanta bowl but I was appalled when I tasted an old fashion recently that contained club soda. I’m trying to be understanding here so does anyone make their old fashions that way and if so why?

I’ve never had an old fashioned with club soda and I hope I never do.

It ruined my day.

I have tried making old fashioned with a very little splash of club soda. I learnt this from a youtube old fashioned video and wanted to give it a try. I ended up loving it tbh. Just a little splash gives the drink an edge.

Okay some people like it. Not my thing though. I saw the ingredients and it said nothing of club soda.

Where in Atlanta did you order this old fashioned so that I can avoid it like the plague? An old fashioned / highball hybrid does not sound up my alley.

Cigar City Club

It's a Midwest thing, primarily Wisconsin but I've seen it in Chicago and MSP too.

They can keep it there 🙅🏾‍♂️

It’s not uncommon but purists look down on it. It’s done in Wisconsin. And when a sugar cube is added instead of simple syrup, club soda might be added to help dissolve the sugar.

The old fashioned is an incredibly simple cocktail to make but it’s bastardized quite frequently.

Is this normal?

Saw this post by Bloomberg business and found it laughable. I’ve only really gotten into whiskey, specifically bourbon over the past year or so but I’ve never really thought of the color as a driving factor in what I choose or what drives a bottles value
