    Manitowoc Minute host Charlie Berens teaches you how to make a Wisconsin style brandy old fashioned sour (although sweet and press are also options). And while you're drinking it you can fill out your 2020 Census at 2020census.gov. Ingredients for the brandy old fashioned include oranges, cherries, sugar, bitters, ice and love. And by love I mean brandy...It's the perfect Midwest concoction for supper clubs, weddings and/or funerals.

      I live in Illinois. I only drink old fashions with brandy. One of my favorite dining establishments uses only Korbel brandy.
      By the way, I've been to the Korbel winery in California. According to the tour guide, 50% of Korbel's brandy production is shipped to Wisconsin.

    Nah man, I don't know. When I was a bartender in Milwaukee I had a few customers that wanted me to muddle the shit outta their old fashioneds. I muddled the rinds and people came back for more. But then again after a couple old fashioneds people are buzzed enough maybe they can't taste the bitter as much 😂
    Ya wanna know what'll really upset people? (Or at least upset me), I once had some crazy person order a whiskey old fashioned with club soda. Club soda. If ya don't want the sugar don't order an old fashioned man, why don't you order a bud light like all the other business majors buddy, it's basically club soda.

      Josh, seems like a pretty straight-laced attitude ya got there about your soda and the proportions. Are you from Oshkosh or something? ;-)

      My family is mostly from Marshfield. Some form Osh, Appleton, Rhinelander and Lake Geneva too. Cheers!

      I thought jolly good was a great memory, 50/50 is another good one, thanks!

    I ordered an old fashioned at a wedding once, and the bartender had no idea what I was talking about- I was just a little surprised.

      I ordered one in Superior Wisconsin at an old folks bar, and the young chick behind the bar had no clue how to make it 😂

    Laughed so hard all the way through it. Especially when you got out the paper clip!
