Brandy Old FashionedvsSidecar
Which one fits your taste?
Brandy Old Fashioned
Wisconsin's beloved spin on the Old Fashioned: brandy over a muddled orange and cherry, sweetened with sugar and bitters. Warming, slightly fruity, and unapologetically Midwestern.
Sidecar
An elegant, citrus-forward classic balancing cognac with orange liqueur and fresh lemon.

Which should you pick?
Pick the Brandy Old Fashioned if you want something earthy and full-bodied. Go with the Sidecar if you'd rather have something bright and citrus-forward. Both are sweet and approachable and boozy and spirit-forward, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
