If a proposed bill passes, Wisconsin might be the first state to adopt an official cocktail: the brandy old-fashioned.
When it comes to the drinks states have designated as their official beverages, the choices are, quite frankly, bland.
But now, Wisconsin might be the first member of the union to name an official state cocktail — that is, if a bill proposed by state legislators gains majority support. “It’s a sweet, fruity soup, devoid of much delicacy,” Simonson wrote. “But love it or hate it, you’ve got to pay the old girl some respect.”By the late 19th century, the Badger State was still drinking the old fashioned like the rest of the world does. So, what made Wisconsin spice up a beloved classic?and cocktail historian Jeanette Hurt, three forces were in play: prohibition, World War II and the mid-century love of supper clubs.
“Once we like something, we stick with it,” Hurt said. “Wisconsin’s drinking culture dates back to the 1800s and, because of our German heritage, we have an ethos here of Gemütlichkeit, a word for the good-natured coziness of getting together with family and friends.”Plus, Hurt added, the state has a penchant for taking classic recipes and adding its own flair. “I mean, this is state were the Bloody Mary is outfitted with a full meal on top of it,” Hurt said.
