Calories 191kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces brandy
- ¼ ounce simple syrup
- 2 dashes aromatic bitters such as Angostura
- 1-2 ounces lemon-lime soda or club soda (optional, for Wisconsin-style)
- 1 cocktail cherry for garnish
- 1 piece orange zest for garnish
- 1 large ice cube for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine brandy and simple syrup.
- Use a bar spoon to gently stir the mixture until chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. If desired, top with 1 to 2 ounces of soda for a Wisconsin-style variation.
- Garnish with a cocktail cherry and a piece of orange zest.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic drink, use zero-proof spirits and non-alcoholic bitters.
Be sure to stir slowly and gently. Spirit-forward cocktails dilute more easily.
For a Wisconsin-style Brandy Old-Fashioned: Add 1 to 2 ounces of soda after straining. Choose “sweet” (lemon-lime soda), “sour” (sour mix), or “press” (half lemon-lime soda, half club soda) based on your preference.
