Old-fashioneds Workshop

About this experience

Understand the choices that shape a great Old Fashioned.

The Old Fashioned looks simple.
And that’s precisely why it’s so easy to get wrong.

This workshop is about understanding what truly shapes an Old Fashioned —
not just the ingredients, but the decisions behind them.

We start from a clear reference point.
Then we explore how changing one element at a time affects the final result.

Not to say which version is “right”.
But to understand why each one feels different.

You’ll taste multiple variations and learn how:
 • the choice of whisky changes structure and depth
 • sugar affects balance, texture, and perception
 • bitters shape length and finish
 • dilution can elevate a drink… or ruin it

Everything is built around clear, repeatable frameworks —
so you know what to adjust, instead of guessing.

Throughout the workshop, Harouna will share practical tips & bartender tricks — small details that make a huge difference in the glass.

You’ll see how dilution really works, what happens when it’s handled correctly — and what happens when it’s not.

At the end, you’ll use everything you’ve learned to:
👉 build an Old Fashioned intentionally, adjusting it to your taste with confidence.

All recipes will be provided so you can take notes and recreate them at home.
