Corner Bar is pretty strict about IDs

Sugar is a common ingredient in old fashioneds..
If you want it whiskey flavored just ask for whiskey on the rocks with bitters and a splash of cherry juice.

What bar were you at?
nvm, you would be surprised how many places have a rough time making the basics.

I've been there probably 10 times in the past several months and never once has anyone in our group been asked for an ID. I get it, but its not like CB can't afford a doorman. It needs to be consistent. I was also pissed I had already ordered a drink, and then all this goes down.
I've also had old fashioned at corner bar and never have I had one that bad. They're usually decent. Not great, but for the type of bar, not atrocious.

Never heard of this. Dude did not know what he was doing.

People do not know how to make classic cocktails anymore. I ordered an old-fashioned at a bar in Baltimore (I currently live in Baltimore.). The bartender was a kid, and he put cherry juice in it. WTF?
BTW...you got me banned once. DIAF!

In the OPs honor I will buy an orange today so I can sip OFs tonight.

It should be more whiskey flavored with a hint of red tint, IMO
Yes, it should. .. How most bartender's murder good whiskey with waayyy too much cherry juice when making an old fashioned is a sin. And putting in rock candy?!?!? What is that shite?!?!? She would've been making me another, correctly, or let me do it. ... God, I hate when establishments these days alter & add their own ridiculous crap to drink recipes that have been in existence for decades. Stop fricking up,the drinks!!!

This is common for places that don't have simple syrup.
I bartend on the side and whenever anyone asks for an old fashioned I ask them how they want it. People make/like them a million different ways these days.

Only acceptable answer is sugar cube or simple syrup.
Also what was the liquor? I can't imagine.
I can only picture my 20-24 year old self at The Longhorn in the early 90's ordering an OF and what vile shite would come out of that bar.

Cherry juice? Da frick? Some of you guys complaining aren't drinking a real old fashioned to begin with.
Posted on 2/21/15 at 11:48 am to SuperSaint
I love an OF with the muddled orange slice and cherries but I've noticed that nice restaraunts outside the south make them differently. Is the pulpy one the classic or a southern variation?

How the hell do you even operate a bar without simple syrup?!?!? Damn, no wonder many bar's drinks suck these days. ... We made our own simple syrup. It's not brain surgery. If a bar doesn't have simple syrup, they shouldn't even attempt to make drinks calling for it in the recipe. Ridiculous.

I'm just telling you how a LOT of people make them.
Muddled cherry/orange is also very common in the drink now.

Some substitute cherry juice for grenadine. Grenadine is the appropriate ingredient.
