Rock and Roll Vegetarian loves a well made cocktail. The Stockade Tavern in Kingston NY is my bar of choice in Upstate NY!!

I recently paid a visit up to the tavern to get a bit of instruction on making some traditional cocktails, and find out a bit about the place.

First of all, this great spot is not your typical bar. There are no TV’s, and no blasting music. No neon signs. How do they do it? The make great drinks. You can go there, watch Paul do his bartending thing and get inspired. The place is a very muted color affair, with a very beautiful tin ceiling, nice art on the walls and an old bar. You can settle in and get to know some new friends. It’s that kind of a place. There even is a bar dog, and she’s a cutie!

I will be sharing more of the great cocktails I learned up there. But first, here is the recipe, and a video of the “original cocktail”, a traditional Old Fashioned. I have posted a recipe of this drink on the website Yummy Vegetarian Recipes as well, so please enjoy!
