The Grandad of Cocktails is the Old Fashioned. Starting simply as a sugar cube, bitters, and a measure of whiskey, this drink has gone through changes over the years.

American myths are known as “Tall Tales”, and one of the greatest of these was the legend of John Henry. The hero of the working man in an age of industrial revolution, his story shows that no amount of machinery or technology can beat the heart and drive of the American worker.

I once met a mighty mule who proudly bore this moniker in honor of the Tall Tale, continuing the legend to this day. House Ginger Syrup, Seltzer, Whiskey, and Lime with enough of a punch to drive rail spikes through stone.

Whiskey is a wonderful thing. I could certainly end with that, but I suppose you are reading this to learn about the drink. While some like their Vodkas or Tequilas, we at the Iron Dram Whiskey Lodge stand by the greatest of spirits. And when a younger taste is needed, we can always turn to moonshine and Potcheen (Pu-sheen). Our take on the classic Margarita using Troy and Sons Platinum Whiskey, a moonshine made from Crooked Creek Corn and Appalachian Spring water. We think you will agree that what other spirits can do, whiskey can do better. Moonshine, Lime Juice, Curacao and salt. Simple as that.
