It’s no secret that Wisconsin gets down with brandy. It’s commonly said that more than half of all Korbel brandy sold in the U.S. is consumed right here in Wisconsin. And most of that brandy is being poured in the state’s flagship (sorry, Bloody Mary) cocktail, the Wisconsin Old Fashioned. 

Now, I am no brandy aficionado, but I am a die-hard brandy sour Old Fashioned drinker. While the rest of the country associates the “traditional” Old Fashioned with the holiday season, we Wisconsinites enjoy our version year round.
