One thing I discovered after moving to Wisconsin was the drink called the Old Fashioned. This is definitely the official drink of Wisconsin, as it is a popular choice at all the Restaurants and Supper Clubs across the state. I have come to appreciate this drink, and always like to have one when I go out with my family to a nice Supper Club.
I also want to show you my latest addition to my basement bar, a new Neon sign of my logo for my YouTube channel. Once I got my new sign hung up I felt it was a perfect time to show you how to make the Wisconsin Old Fashioned.
Ingredients:
1 Sugar Cube
1 Maraschino Cherry
1 Orange slice
3-5 dashes of Aromatic Bitters
2 ounces Brandy
4 ounces of Sprite or Squirt
In the bottom of your cocktail glass place 1 Maraschino Cherry, and 1 Orange slice. Muddle with a cocktail muddler or with the back of a wooden spoon. Next add a Sugar Cube and top with a few dashes of Aromatic Bitters.
Add the Brandy and then add some ice cubes. Top the cocktail with a few ounces of Sprite for a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet, or Squirt for a Brandy Old Fashioned Sour. Stir well to make sure the Sugar Cube is dissolved. Garnish with a Orange slice and a Maraschino Cherry. Serve and enjoy!
