Brandy Old Fashioned Recipe (Sweet)
A true Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned recipe! Made with classic ingredients and served over ice this is the perfect special occasion drink!
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz - 2oz brandy
- .25 - .5oz simple syrup or one sugar cube
- 3 dashes of bitters
- splash of Sprite to taste
- ice
- garnish: orange peel + maraschino cherry
Instructions
- In a lowball glass add brandy, simple syrup, bitters and sprite.
- Add ice 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.
