Old fashioneds are a classic cocktail that have been around for ages, but if you're looking to switch things up, there are plenty of synonyms for this beloved drink. Some common alternatives include the whiskey sour, the Manhattan, and the sidecar. The Manhattan is a bit sweeter than the old fashioned, made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. The whiskey sour is tangy and refreshing, typically made with whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar syrup. And the sidecar is a brandy-based cocktail with lemon juice and triple sec. Whether you want to stick with the tried and true old fashioned or explore new flavors, there's a drink out there for every taste preference.
