Is an Old Fashioned supposed to just taste like Vodka?
I ordered this drink and it just tastes like a vodka I had once, except instead of getting it over and done with with one shot, I'm sipping the fucking thing.
It tastes horrible, but at least it smells nice. It's not at all what I expected from what I heard people say about it.
>vodka
WHAT
Yeah, it tastes like this brand. I even asked the bartender for bourbon with the drink, isn't that what you're supposed to always have anyway?
Fuck me it actually tastes so bad, I want to leave but I'm too much of a pussy to just leave a full drink on the table. At least I'm not sitting at the bar where the guy who made the drink can watch me try to sip the thing.
I think I'll stick to beer.
>going to a bar alone with this little bev knowledge
Does someone know you're outside all by yourself, champ?
I had some other drinks before this one, they were fine but holy fuck the Old Fashioned is terrible.
I'm not retarded, just didn't expect this flavor at all
The OF is delicious. Tastes like sweeter bourbon. Do you not like bourbon? Have you only had highball drinks before? Have you ever sipped just a spirit?
Either you or the bartender don't have much taste, because there is no way a drink made of sugar, bitters, and bourbon is going to taste like any vodka known to man. Or do you drink your vodka mixed too?
If that is OP's drink the color looks off. Maybe he was roofied?
Definitely didn't taste sweet, it was bitter as fuck.
Yeah that's the drink I was served, I though it looked off too, should have been darker.
I hope I haven't been drugged.
Drinking whisky is a completely different experience from vodka for obvious reasons; I'd advise you to take your time adjusting to it.
And if you suspect you've been roofied, you'd better get out fast and call an Uber. Don't waste anymore time.
Fucking hell, either the bartender poured an ounce of bitters in there or you've been drugged.
I would recommend getting your ass outta there OP, just to be safe.
I've left the bar, and am somewhere else now.
I don't know if this matters or anything, but I noticed that when he went to pour some splashes from a small bottle only like a single drop came out, then he poured some soda water or whatever, then the liquor. Then mixed with ice and added more liquor.
I feel like this recipe is a little off or missing something, hence the almost watery color.
Your bartender doesn't know how to make drinks. That's not an old fashioned, it's too light.
You'd be closer if you said it was missing something; the pic was downright anemic for a whisky cocktail. Probably skimped on the bourbon and filled it right up with soda, might have even skipped the sugar altogether. That would definitely be a foul cup of swill.
Still, I'm relieved you're okay. Hope you get home safely and find a better bar another time.
Thanks user
I think he just fucked up your drink. The small bottle was bitters which is correct, but the way it's supposed to be made is with a sugar cube saturated with two dashes of bitters. That's mixed with bourbon and a splash of water.
Whatever he have you is not that. Regardless, I'm glad you're home safely. You probably weren't drugged, rather just an incompetent bartender
Yeah I think he was. After leaving I went to this bar that's supposed to be the best in the city, and decided to order another Old Fashioned,
This one tastes much better than what I got, and it actually looks like what an Old Fashioned is supposed to look like.
At least I ended my night on a high note with a good drink, and a new place to frequent.
And you didn't get raped. Wins all around
this is why I like Veeky Forums
it's one of the last places where you can still mantain a civil exchange of opinions and information
Fuck off nigger jew man.
What kind of pussy faggot puts soda water in a old fashioned? Its bourbon, bitters, orange, and maybe a sugar cube if you're gay. The dumbshit bartender didn't know how to make it, so he googled it and used the first result, which is WRONG.
>What kind of pussy faggot puts soda water in a old fashioned?
Australian bartenders at a Casino, apparently.

I don't know what you ordered but it certainly wasn't an Old Fashioned.
explain what "other drinks" you had. I'm assuming right now that you had girl drinks, and that you think anything with a hard liquor base tastes "like vodka"
Other drinks as in, in general, or other drinks the same night?
About an hour before I tried the first Old Fashioned, I was drinking Rum and Coke, and White Russians. Standard stuff really.
