When I think of the quintessential Wisconsin drink, I think of an Old Fashioned. Heck- we even have a restaurant on our Capitol square named after the thing!
The Classic Wisconsin version is the Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet- when I bartended I made zillions of these things for out of towners who wanted to have the traditional drink.
Now that we have people over fairly often, I love making these- and there are so many iterations of these possible, that if you aren't a brandy fan...or a sweet fan...you can tweak it to make it your own!
What you'll need to make it happen:
- 2 orange slices (in quarters)
- 4-5 maraschino cherries
- Raw sugar cube or just granulated sugar
- 3-4 dashes of Bitters (see bottle below)
- 2 ounces Brandy
- Sprite
-Muddler
-Ice
How to make it happen:
Step 1: Throw your 2-3 cherries, 1 orange slice quarter, sugar, and dashes of bitters into the bottom of a glass. With your muddler, mash until cherry, orange, and sugar is well mixed. Be careful not to grind the orange rind too much, or you'll get a really bitter taste!
Step 2: Add ice and brandy, and top with a few splashes of Sprite.
Step 3: Either stir or pour into another glass so drink is well mixed.
Step 4: Garnish with and orange slice & a cherry, and enjoy!

If you don't dig brandy, sub for bourbon or whiskey!
If you don't like orange, sub for lemon!
If you don't like overly-sweet things- add in 1 Tbsp Sour mix, then finish with just a little Sprite!
If you're really feelin' fancy, buy orange or cherry bitters to enhance the fruit flavor!
