Brandy Old Fashioned

Wine
Drink: Brandy Old Fashioned

Barb Byrum has been hard at work changing up old-fashioned policies and procedures in politics, so this week we're mixing up an Old Fashioned with a sweet spin. The Brandy Old Fashioned hardly resembles the traditional cocktail; Père Magloire Calvados Brandy comes together with cherry and orange juice for a unique, sweet drink balanced by bitters and citrus. If you're a fan of sweet drinks, you'll love this cocktail. Think of it as an opportunity to change up your "Old Fashioned" ways.

  • 1 maraschino cherry
  • 1 1/2 oz. maraschino cherry juice

  • 1 tsp. orange juice
  • 3 oz. lemon-lime soda
