Libations: The Midwestern twist on the old fashioned classic

Old Fashioned Recipe

4 oz. whiskey

2 oz. simple syrup

7UP soda

Angostura bitters

Sugar

Orange slice

Maraschino cherries

In 12 oz. glass, muddle an orange slice, 
one Maraschino cherry and a sugar cube (or teaspoon of sugar)

• Add a few dashes of Angostura bitters to 
 taste, mix until sugar is dissolved

• Add 2 oz. of simple syrup (or cherry juice 
 for extra flavor and color)

• Add 4 oz. of preferred whiskey

• Add ice, and fill glass with 7UP

• Garnish with extra cherry

Variations

For extra Wisconsin style, use brandy instead of whiskey.

To make a sour old fashioned, remove cherries and simple syrup. Use 50/50 or Squirt soda instead of 7UP and garnish with olives.
