The Wisconsin Old Fashioned is a regional variation of the classic cocktail, the Old Fashioned, which is traditionally made with whiskey or bourbon, sugar, bitters, and a twist of citrus. The Wisconsin version of this cocktail has a unique twist that substitutes brandy as the base spirit instead of whiskey, making it an iconic drink in the state.
While the traditional Old Fashioned remains popular worldwide, the Wisconsin Old Fashioned is a testament to how regional variations of cocktails can develop and become part of a local culture's identity. So whether you're from Wisconsin and simply call it an "Old Fashioned", or are just now discovering a different way to enjoy an old favorite, you can raise your glass to the spirit of ingenuity.
On, Wisconsin!
