Frequently Asked Questions
How do you serve Hochstadter's Slow & Low Old Fashioned?
Serve over ice in a rocks glass and garnish with an orange twist or cherry for the authentic Old Fashioned experience. No mixing required – just pour and enjoy the bar-quality cocktail straight from the bottle.
What does this rye Old Fashioned taste like compared to bourbon versions?
This rye-based Old Fashioned delivers more spice and pepper notes than bourbon versions, with prominent cinnamon and baking spice flavors balanced by orange sweetness. The rye whiskey base provides a drier, more complex flavor profile than the vanilla-forward sweetness of bourbon Old Fashioneds.
Is this a good value compared to making Old Fashioneds at home?
At $26.99 for a 750mL bottle, you get approximately 15 cocktail servings of bar-quality Old Fashioneds. When you factor in the cost of premium rye whiskey, bitters, and convenience, this offers excellent value for consistent, professional-quality cocktails without the prep work.
Can I use this cocktail for mixing or cooking?
While designed to drink neat over ice, this Old Fashioned works beautifully in cocktail variations – try it as a base for a Paper Plane or mix with ginger beer for a spiced highball. It also makes an excellent cooking ingredient for glazes on pork or beef dishes.
How does this compare to other bottled cocktails?
Hochstadter's stands out for using straight rye whiskey as the base rather than neutral spirits, delivering authentic whiskey character you'd expect from a craft cocktail bar. The 1884 heritage recipe provides historical authenticity that most modern bottled cocktails lack.
