CLASSIC WISCONSIN COCKTAIL

The Midwest's answer to "what if we made whiskey taste like dessert and then added more sugar?" Honestly, they were onto something.

The Wisconsin Way:

  • 2.25oz Telluride Whiskey (the foundation of all good decisions)
  • Orange Slice (about to get absolutely pulverized)
  • Tbsp Sugar (yes, on TOP of the simple syrup, this is Wisconsin)
  • 2 Dashes of Telluride Distilling Bitters (for complexity or whatever)
  • 1.25oz Vanilla simple syrup (because one sugar source is for quitters)

The Muddle Hustle: Get ready to take out some aggression—muddle that orange slice, sugar, bitters, and simple syrup like you're crushing the souls of your enemies (or just making a really good cocktail, same energy). Once you've created your sugary crime scene, add ice and a splash of soda water because Wisconsin likes bubbles with their whiskey, don't question it. Crown this beauty with a cherry on top like it's 1955 and you're at the supper club your parents won't shut up about. This is the Old Fashioned that makes bourbon purists cry and Wisconsinites proud.

This martini recipe contains enough vermouth to taste it and instructions to "Shake. Not stir." It's basically everything James Bond's bartender warned you about, but it still tastes like sophisticated...
