Cheers to this. On Thursday, Nov. 9, the Wisconsin State Assembly passed a bipartisan resolution, making the brandy old fashioned the state’s official cocktail.
The declaration makes the state cocktail somewhat official. Since the Assembly passed a resolution instead of a bill, the cocktail won’t be added to Wisconsin’s list of official state symbols like milk as the state beverage and kringle as the state pastry. To pass a bill, a public hearing and signature from the governor are required.
Ready to celebrate? Make yourself a brandy old fashioned, take a picture of your drink, and share it with us. We may even feature your concoction in an upcoming newsletter.
