My take on a classic Old Fashioned Cocktail recipe. Made with brandy, bitters, orange slices, and cherries, it's a popular Wisconsin cocktail.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 raw sugar cube or 1/2 teaspoon raw turbinado sugar
  • 6 quick dashes bitters
  • 2 orange slices divided
  • 2 maraschino cherries divided
  • Ice
  • 2 ounces brandy
  • 1 splash lemon-lime soda
  • 1 splash club soda or additional lemon-lime soda

Instructions
 

  • Place sugar cube in the bottom of serving glass a rocks glass is traditional and feels cool. Sprinkle with bitters, then add an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
  • Add a few ice cubes to each glass, then top with brandy and a splash of lemon-lime soda and club soda. Stir gently to combine, then garnish with remaining orange slice and cherry. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • A true “press” style cocktail is 1/2 lemon-lime, 1/2 regular soda, but for simplicity, all lemon-lime soda (my preference) or all club soda can be used.
