FROZEN BRANDY OLD-FASHIONEDS

Frozen Brandy Old-Fashioneds image

Both sides of my family are Midwestern, so our strong brandy tradition is evident in the slush we make for the holidays and in the Wisconsin old-fashioned cocktails we enjoy year-round. I decided to combine those recipes into something completely new. This goes very quickly at gatherings! -Stephanie Vaughan, Madison, Wisconsin
