BRANDY ALEXANDER MILKSHAKES

Wisconsinites drink a lot of brandy: Every year, half of the cases Korbel sells in the US go just to the Badger State. German immigrants brought it with them to the state in the 19th century, and while theories vary on why Wisconsin has become brandy central, everyone agrees that people here know how to drink it. The Del-Bar in Wisconsin Dells serves a Brandy Alexander in the form of a milkshake. It's a Wisconsin drink through and through: The blender was invented here in 1922. -Nora Horvath for Food Network Magazine
