BRANDY OLD-FASHIONED SWEET

Brandy Old-Fashioned Sweet image

The concept of an old-fashioned dates back to the early 1800s and includes whiskey, bitters, cherry juice, sugar and water. This old-fashioned recipe, which is extremely popular in Wisconsin, uses brandy in place of whiskey and lemon-lime soda instead of water for a milder cocktail. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen
