WISCONSIN BRANDY OR WHISKEY OLD-FASHIONED

You can use your favorite brandy or whiskey (bourbon). You can also make this sweet or sour to your liking by using 50/50 or 7-Up. I've heard that this is a "regional" drink, because it's not as common outside of our state!

Ingredients

2 -3 ounces brandy or 2 -3 ounces whiskey
1 sugar cube (or 1 tsp. super-fine sugar)
2 -3 dashes Angostura bitters
sweet and sour soda (50/50 or Squirt brand) or carbonated lemon-lime beverage (7-Up)
1 pineapple chunk
1 maraschino cherry
3 manzanilla olives, pickled Brussel sprouts or 3 dilly beans

Steps:

Place the sugar cube and bitters into an old fashioned glass (8-12 oz. tumbler style glass) and muddle together with a spoon or muddler. (We prefer to use the super-fine sugar because you can stir it all together without muddling.).
Add some ice, to your liking.
Add the brandy or whiskey.
Top off the glass with either 50/50 soda or 7-up (sour or sweet!).
Garnish as described above.

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
