MrDrew Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 4 hours ago, Tyty said: How do you guys make your old fashioneds Muddle a sugar cube with 2 dashes of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned Bitters, or Angostura Aromatic bitters, and a dash of orange bitters until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in 2oz of rye, or bourbon. Drop in a big ice cube. Express an orange peel over the glass, and drop it in. If you want good recipe books for traditional cocktails buy the Jerry Thomas Bartender’s Guide 1887 edition, American Bar, the Savoy Cocktail Book, and Contraband Cocktails: How America Drank When It Wasn’t Supposed To. The last one is a little history book, with some classic recipes at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Minnesota we call that a 'Sconie Old Fashioned, and like all things from Wisconsin, it is an abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywindO2 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 We don't call it trash talk in Minnesota, we call it Wisconsin talk. No we don't actually do that, but we should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a Wisconsin old fashioned has to have brandy though, not whiskey. So Minnesota sucks at trash talk about as much as they suck at life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fl0nkerton Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I went to the Maker's Mark Distillery over the weekend. Pretty cool experience. We had tickets to the Dinner Series right after the tour. "One of the region's most acclaimed young chefs, Newman Miller, and his team are bringing true farm-to-table dining to our historic distillery setting and creating imaginative food-and-bourbon pairings you can’t enjoy anyplace else. Tickets are $100 each and include an optional distillery tour in advance of dinner, a three-course communal dinner and paired cocktails." Waiting for dinner, I sipped on a mixer of Tamarind Jarritos and Maker's Mark. First cocktail with salad was a Manhattan. Second cocktail with the main course was an Old Fashioned. Third was a glass of just straight up Private Select with dessert. Grabbed my pops a bottle of this in the gift shop. It's smooth like a Santana and Rob Thomas song.

A few Web sites even reported that Wisconsin is responsible for 90 percent of the world's brandy consumption, so we decided to go straight to the source: Korbel, the top brandy maker in the United States. "Wisconsin is our number one state," says Margie Healy, director of public relations for the California-based Korbel. "We export 385,000 cases a year, and 139,000 go directly to Wisconsin. That's one-third of our total production." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any recommendations for drinkware? It's kind of like beer when you want to do it right, but there's less cocktail glasses. I would do a rocks/old fashioned/whiskey glass, a coupe, a highball, martini glass, and a champagne flute. Should be able to cover all of you bases with that set.
