Wisconsin Old Fashioned

Метод: · Бокал: Лоубол

The Wisconsin Old Fashioned is the state’s variation on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail, with brandy and lemon lime soda. The typical Old Fashioned recipe uses bourbon mixed with a muddled sugar cube and bitters. So where did the brandy Old Fashioned come from? Here’s the theory! (Per Jerry Minnich, at least.) A company of brothers debuted their Korbel brandy at the World’s Fair in 1893 in Chicago, which lots of Wisconsinites attended. A large percentage of Wisconsin at the time was German, and Germans preferred brandy over bourbon. Korbel brandy become a hit, and birthed this state’s funky variation on the classic cocktail. To this day, the drink is often served with Korbel brandy! - Sweet: Lemon lime soda (like 7 Up or Sprite). This is the default option at bars. - Sour: Sour mix or grapefruit soda (like Squirt). - Press: 50/50 lemon lime soda and soda water (club soda) - Soda: Soda water
