What is an old fashioned?

  • Old fashioned co*cktails are especially popular – and full of tradition – in Wisconsin. They’re a staple at parties and on co*cktail bar menus everywhere.An old fashioned is typically made with sugar (muddled with bitters and water), whiskey (rye or bourbon) and the addition of an orange slice and/or cherry. You can order them sweet or sour and that shifts the ingredients a bit.
