Supper Club culture is alive and well up here in Northern Wisconsin. And it just seems right that every meal starts with an old-fashioned. Personally, I prefer a brandy old-fashioned sweet (which apparently if I'm not mistaken is the Wisconsin standard), while D opts for a whiskey old-fashioned sweet. I tasked D with making our evening libations while I cooked up dinner this evening. This is how he made mine:
Brandy Old-Fashioned Sweet (printer-friendly version)
makes one cocktail
2 sugar cubes
1 orange slice (plus an additional orange wedge for garnish)
1 homemade maraschino cherry
Angostura bitters
1 oz brandy
3 oz club soda
1. Add the cherry, orange slice, sugar cubes, a splash of club soda, and three dashes of Angostura bitters to the bottom of an old-fashioned glass. Muddle the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add ice to the glass.
3. Top with brandy and club soda. Give it a little stir.
4. Garnish with an orange wedge and serve.
