Our light and refreshing Strawberry Old Fashioned is a fun spin on this classic cocktail recipe! Made with less than 5 basic ingredients, this delicious beverage can be made in a matter of minutes. Perfect for those hot summer nights!
The Best Strawberry Old Fashioned
If you aren’t typically a whiskey fan, Old-Fashioned’s are the way to go, because they have a little bit of sugar and (hopefully) some cherry juice muddled in. One summer night, we wanted to make some cocktails but didn’t have any maraschino cherries. Enter the fresh strawberries, we gave it a try and we definitely aren’t going back. So incredibly refreshing! Take a sip and enjoy!

- garnish: orange rind and/or strawberries
How To Make A Strawberry Old Fashioned
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to muddle the sugar in the bottom of a glass with some water. Now add a strawberry and muddle again. Add ice cubes, then the whiskey, and any garnish you want. Option to serve with a splash of soda water.

Sounds good except without bitters it is not an old fashioned. Also, a true Wisconsin old fashioned is made with Korbel brandy.
Ingredients
1 tsp sugar
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
1 orange slice (plus extra for garnish)
2 Maraschino cherries or brandied cherries (plus extra for garnish)
2 oz Korbel brandy
2-3 ice cubes
Sprite, 7-up, Squirt, sour mix, or seltzer (as desired to top off the drink)
Instructions
Place the sugar, bitters, 1 orange slice, and 1 cherry in an Old Fashioned glass. Add a splash of water. Muddle*, being careful to avoid the orange rind, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the brandy and a couple of ice cubes. Stir. Top the drink off with your choice of soda, sour mix, or seltzer. Garnish with a skewered orange slice and cherry, if desired.
Enjoy!
