Wisconsin's official state cocktail, the Brandy Old Fashioned, is a Midwestern twist on a classic drink. I show you how to serve this delicious brandy cocktail one of three ways: sweet, sour, and press. How will you make it?!

Ingredients

3 to 4 good dashes Angostura bitters
2 orange slices divided
2 maraschino cherries divided
1 sugar cube
2 ounces brandy - Korbel brand preferred
1 ounce chilled lemon-lime soda - 7UP brand preferred

Instructions

Add the bitters, one orange slice, one maraschino cherry, and sugar cube to a rocks glass. Muddle to combine the sugar and extract the fruit juices.
Add ice to 2/3 full, then pour the brandy over the ice.
Top with 7UP, then give a quick, gentle stir to combine and chill.
Garnish with the remaining orange slice and maraschino cherry.

Notes

For a Brandy Old Fashioned 'Sweet': Follow the recipe as written, topped with 7UP.

For a Brandy Old Fashioned 'Sour': Replace the 7UP with Squirt.

For a Brandy Old Fashioned 'Press': Replace half the 7UP with club soda.
