Brandy Old Fashioned recipe
Erica Sagon
Brandy Old-Fashioneds are back in a big way. Google has a million recipes, but here's our house recipe with our superbly smooth Creekbend Brandy and our lovely Flora liqueur.
Elegant, spirit-forward, not-too-sweet, and proudly Midwestern — this storied cocktail with supper club roots feels fresh again thanks to a new wave of craft brandies like ours.
