I like them as couple sugar cubes, bitters, 2 Luxardo cherries and orange peel gently muddled together, giant ice cube, then topped with a couple ounces of good rye whisky and finally a gentle stir with a spoon.
I also like them SE IA style, sugar cube, bitters, cheap bourbon, ice, stir with a spoon, and top with club soda. Garnish with a cherry and orange slice.
Brandy old fashioned sweet Wisconsin style are good too, but I need to be in the land of cheese and beer.
