A true Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned recipe! Made with classic ingredients and served over ice this is the perfect special occasion drink!

Ingredients 

  • 1 ½ - 2 ounces brandy
  • ¼ - ½ ounces simple syrup or one sugar cube
  • 3 dashes bitters
  • splash of Sprite to taste
  • ice cubes
  • garnish: orange peel + maraschino cherry

Instructions

  • In a lowball glass add 1 ½ - 2 ounces brandy, ¼ - ½ ounces simple syrup, 3 dashes bitters and splash of Sprite. 
  • Add ice cubes and garnish with orange peel and additional cherry on a toothpick. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Maraschino Cherries: I highly recommend using these Luxardo Maraschino Cherries - they are the best! 
  • Simple Syrup vs. Sugar Cube: feel free to add a sugar cube and muddle it in with the cherry instead of adding the simple syrup. Either way works. 
  • Classic Old Fashioned: if you want a more classic version of this recipe that is quite so sweet - use bourbon instead of brandy and omit the Sprite.
