Two of the oldest cocktails in the book, the Old Fashioned and Manhattan are both beloved whiskey-based classics. And though the cocktails have their separate — and sometimes seriously devoted — fan bases, they are often conflated. The two both fall into the category of boozy, stirred whiskey drinks; are typically served at similar establishments; and even boast two of the same core ingredients.
