Old Fashioned Drink

Old fashioned are traditionally made with whiskey, sugar, bitters, and orange peel. They are classic and smooth. However, bars and mixologists like to put their own unique spin on every popular drink by using different spirits, flavored bitters, and garnishes. A proper old fashion in Wisconsin, according to urban Milwaukee, should contain brandy. In actuality, September is Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned Month. The Turner Hall Ballroom also hosts an Old Fashioned Fest during that time, pitting area bars and distilleries against one another to see which is the finest.
