Order an Old Fashioned in Milwaukee and you might be in for a surprise. Out of staters will likely expect to receive rye whiskey or bourbon, but Wisconsin dictates the use of brandy instead. Local tastes run sweet, so you’ll find that brandy topped with sugar, bitters and Sprite, but you can always adjust your order by saying “sweet, sour or press,” which tells the bartender your preference.
