Discover the Best Wisconsin Old Fashioned: History & Perfect Recipe 🥃

Today I'm mixing up the best Wisconsin old fashioned! Of course in Wisconsin it's just called an old fashioned, but if you've had one, you know it's very different from a classic old fashioned. This drink is special to me because it reminds me of home. Highly customizable, there's a version of this cocktail for every drinker out there. You choose the level of sweetness and the garnish (anything from fruit to pickled vegetables!). I owe my personal philosophy of cocktails to this drink. I believe we should all drink what we like, and this is what I like. Cheers!

P.S. If you need a good book to read this winter, I'd recommend "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson 😊 https://amzn.to/2JoD6TC
