Apparently the only way to make an Old Fashioned in Wisconsin is to do it with Brandy. Seemed interesting to me, so I made myself one. To my surprise I really enjoyed it. I had some Presedente that I normally use for cooking and it turned out great.
- Marge’s Brandy Old Fashioned Recipe
- 1 Sugar Cube
- Several Dashes Angostura Bitters
- Soda Water
- Orange slice
- 2 to 3 Citrus Brandied Cocktail Cherries or Maraschino Cherries
- Ice
- 2 oz Brandy
Place sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass and splash with bitters. Add a dash of soda water (just enough to dissolve the sugar), the orange slice, and 1 cherry. Gently muddle to crush the fruit but not pulverize it. Fill the glass with ice cubes and add brandy. Top off with soda. Garnish with another cherry or two.
