Here in Wisconsin we're pretty particular about how we like our Old Fashioned's. In this recipe, we give a nod to the regional standard without straying too far from the original, using Grapefruit Soda as a stand-in for store-bought sour mix and sugary soda.
Grapefruit Wisco Old Fashioned Recipe:
1 orange slice
2 maraschino cherries
1 sugar cube, optional
3 dashes orange bitters
1.5 oz brandy or bourbon
2-3 oz Top Note Grapefruit Soda
Garnish: maraschino cherries
Combine the orange, cherries, sugar cube and bitters in a rocks glass and muddle. Add spirit and ice, then top with Grapefruit Soda. Stir it up and don't forget the garnish!
