The Brandy Old Fashioned cocktail, aka the Wisconsin Old Fashioned, is practically the official Wisconsin state drink. It employs brandy rather than the whiskey called for in a classic Old Fashioned, as well as muddled fruit and sweet soda.

- 3 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 sugar cube
- 2 ounces brandy
- 7UP, Sprite or seltzer, to top
- Garnish: brandied or maraschino cherry
- Garnish: orange slice
Steps
-
Add the orange slices, preserved cherries, bitters and sugar cube to an Old Fashioned glass and muddle.
-
Add ice to fill the glass, add the brandy, then top with the 7Up/Sprite (or seltzer or sour soda).
-
Garnish with a skewered brandied or maraschino cherry and an orange slice.
