If you ask for an Old Fashioned in Wisconsin they ask “brandy or whiskey” and “Sweet or dry”. The brandy is almost always Korbel. The sweet has some Seven Up (lemonade), the dry has sweet and sour mix added. Both are quite a long drink.

Spent most of my life in Wisconsin and observed this: When it comes to brandy old fashioneds bartenders in Wisconsin tend to offer 3 options: sweet, sour, or press. Korbel is the most popular brandy in Wisconsin for old fashioneds and will go with that by default, but people have widely differing opinions on whether to use sprite, 7-up, squirt, or 50/50. Basic maraschino cocktail cherries are generally preferred over luxardo or similar.
