It’s a golden rule not to mess with a perfect recipe as the Old Fashioned. But even the Old Fashioned has evolved over the last hundred years. We think an Old Fashioned made with Aquavit, the national spirit of Norway, is fitting nicely into the global cocktail tradition and it tastes excellent.&nbsp;Bartender Tip:Keep your Aquavit bottle in the fridge so it is ice cold.
