It’s a ‘Wisconsin Thang...’
“Modern” Old Fashioned Recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces bourbon or blended whiskey (Or Southern Comfort!)
3/4-1 teaspoon sugar
1 or 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
1 ounce club soda (7-up, Sierra Mist, Fresca (LOL!) works just fine...
Orange slice, Maraschino cherry and orange twist for garnish BUT - I like mine with green olives...I always order a ‘Southern Comfort Old Fashioned Sweet with Olives.’
Instructions:
Muddle sugar, soda and bitters in rocks glass, pour whiskey into glass and stir. Garnish and serve.
It is a Wisconsin thing.
Mom used to have an Old Fashioned now and then.
I tried them a few times in college and they were too much for a lightweight like me!
Mmmmm Old Fashioned.
Oh & the cookies sound good too!
