December: Brandy Old Fashioned

This is a Wisconsin classic and it totally suits cold weather holiday activities like decorating a tree, writing Christmas cards, and my yearly tradition of compiling my favorite songs of the year into a compilation CD for my friends.

If you've never had a brandy old fashioned Saveur has a great article and recipe for the cocktail from Wegner's St. Martin's Inn in Franklin, WI.

You need: Old fashioned mix (sugar, Angostura bitters),brandy (I used E & J- V.S.O.P) Angostura bitters, white soda (aka 7 Up or Sierra Mist); maraschino cherries, orange slice. Serve and enjoy!
