The Old Fashioned is a staple in Wisconsin! We actually lead the United States in Brandy sales!
I know that Wisconsin leads in Brandy Sales due to Brandy Old Fashions, but Justin and I are MAJOR Whiskey fans here! So I am going to share how we make our Makers Mark Old Fashion Presses at home!
I made this one with blood oranges as I happened to have them in my friends from Imperfect Foods! Haven’t tried it yet, use this link to save moola!
