Apple Cider Old Fashion is a twist on an supper club favorite. Brandy, Brown Sugar, Bitters, and Fresh Apple Cider make an delicious and unique fall drink.

I am a Wisconsin girl and love an Old Fashion. In Wisconsin, there is a tradition of a Friday night fish fry and an Old Fashion.

What is an Old Fashion???

There are different ways to take a Wisconsin Old Fashion: Brandy, Whisky, Bourbon? Sweet, Sour, Press? Olives or Cherries? Muddled? So many questions, and everyone has a favorite. My request is, brandy Old Fashion sour with olives. I also love a muddled Old Fashion which is when the bartender muddles sugar, cherry, and an orange wedge in the bottom of the glass. However, non-muddled are still delicious- all are a Wisconsin tradition!

This version of an Old Fashion is a little different. I use apple cider in place of a soda, and a little brown sugar. This drink uses a little bitters, and I opt for brandy for my cocktail. I use a little gadget like this one to make ice balls for this drink, but cubed and crushed ice works just fine. You can use whiskey or bourbon is you prefer it over brandy as well. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and an apple wedge, and you have a new fall drink!

      I am definitely team brandy with you when it comes to Old Fashions. And the apple cider sounds like a lovely twist on the classic.
