🥃 The Secret to a Perfect Old Fashioned (The Wisconsin Way)

If you’ve ever spent an evening in a Wisconsin supper club, you know that the Old Fashioned isn’t just a cocktail — it’s a tradition. It’s a handshake, a story, a little bit of sweet or a little bit of sour, mixed with care and served with pride.

But ask ten Wisconsinites how to make the perfect Old Fashioned, and you’ll probably get ten different answers. Do you muddle the fruit? Which brandy or whiskey do you use? Sweet or sour? The truth is, there’s more than one right way to make an Old Fashioned — but there is one secret to making it the Wisconsin way: balance.

At Meyer Brothers, we’ve built our recipes around that perfect balance. Our Old Fashioned Mix combines the warmth of bitters, the brightness of citrus, and just the right amount of sweetness to create that signature flavor — every single time. Pair it with your favorite brandy or whiskey, add a splash of soda, and garnish with an orange slice and cherry, and you’ve got a cocktail worthy of any supper club table.

It’s the kind of drink that brings people together — after a long week, during the holidays, or just because. That’s what we love most about the Old Fashioned. It’s not just a drink — it’s a Wisconsin story told one glass at a time.

So, whether you’re new to the tradition or keeping it alive for the next generation, we invite you to raise a glass with us. Make it easy, make it classic, make it Meyer Brothers.

Here’s to good friends, great stories, and the perfect Old Fashioned — the Wisconsin way.

Cheers,
Cheri Meyer
