Frozen Brandy Old-Fashioneds image

Both sides of my family are Midwestern, so our strong brandy tradition is evident in the slush we make for the holidays and in the Wisconsin old-fashioned cocktails we enjoy year-round. I decided to combine those recipes into something completely new. This goes very quickly at gatherings! -Stephanie Vaughan, Madison, Wisconsin

I had a hard time finding frozen cherries. I ended up using frozen raspberries instead and they worked just fine.

These cocktails were too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less simple syrup next time.

I'm not sure I like the combination of brandy and frozen fruit. I think I'll stick to classic old fashioneds in the future.
