'This is a modern reconstruction of the traditional Wisconsin Old Fashioned. The one thing I omitted was the Sweet/Sour twist they put into this drink and that\'s because the drink doesn\'t need it. If you are not familiar, when you order this drink (In Wisconsin) the bartender will usually ask if you would like the drink sweet or sour if you choose sweet you get a little dash of Sprite on top and if you choose sour it\'s Squirt.   This variation on an Old Fashioned goes deep into Wisconsin tradition. On any given Friday many most people will gather at local supper clubs for a Fish Fry, a tradition dating back to the 1920\'s, these dinners are usually accompanied by it\'s signature drink: The Wisconsin Old Fashioned.  Although the origins of this twist on your traditional old fashioned remain somewhat of a mystery you can trace the State\'s penchant for drinking Brandy back to the European immigrants which populated the area. In 1893 The Korbel brothers made their way to the World\'s Fair in Chicago bringing with them cases of their homemade Brandy. The liquor served as a reminder of home to the many Europeans from Wisconsin attending the fair and they brought bottles of the liquor home with them. Fast forward to present day and Wisconsin is the single largest purchaser of Korbel Brandy in the United States.
