“Make It Another Old-Fashioned, Please”

No cocktail has worn the crown of timelessness quite like the Old-Fashioned. More than a drink, it’s a ritual – spirit, sugar, bitters, ice – assembled with the kind of deliberate care that turns a glass into an experience. Cole Porter captured its suave allure in “Make It Another Old-Fashioned, Please,” a song he penned for High Society – the sparkling 1956 musical comedy that brought together Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. Set against the backdrop of Newport’s elegant mansions, the film embodies an era when cocktails weren’t rushed, whiskey on the rocks was a statement, and every pour carried an air of ceremony.

That spirit of midcentury cocktail culture lives on in an Old-Fashioned glass designed to match the drink’s stature. Inspired by the refined yet unpretentious barware of the 1950s, this is a glass made for those who appreciate both form and function. Substantial in weight, balanced in the hand, and shaped to enhance the whiskey’s aroma, it honors a time when the right vessel was as important as the right whiskey. In an age of fleeting trends, it’s a reminder that some things, like the Old-Fashioned, are meant to be savored slowly.
