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.
