I believe the Pabst Blue Ribbon was self-awarded for the Fair. The1893 World Fair was supposed to be showing off the Post-bellum, reconstructed and industrially optimistic America off to the rest of the world (side note, the “Great white city” was extremely problematic in its literal whitewashing of American history and achievement). But yeah. The award was their own. Edit for clarity: the “Blue Ribbon” was Pabst’s attempt to remain congruent with the theme that everything at the fair was the best America had to offer to the rest of the world

This video was mind blowing for me. I visited Madison Wi a few years back and was at a bar with some Wisconsin colleagues. I mentioned i had just learned to make an old fashioned, and they said "Wisconsin is known for their old fashioned, you have to try one". So I did, and the bartender asked me if I wanted it sweet or sour... i was so confused. So I watched him put 7up, and was mortified. For the past 7 years, I've often thought about how it was the worst old fashioned I've ever had... little did I know it's actually a different drink all together.

In the 70s, I was a bartender in some really nice restaurants in Lincoln Nebraska. We made OF very similar to your way. Except we used whiskey and a cane sugar cube instead of simple syrup. We muddled the orange, cherry, sugar and bitters (Angostura of course - 2 shakes), added the ice and whiskey. Topped with a small splash of seltzer and a lemon twist. Garnished with the orange and cherry like you did. One of my favorite drinks to this day!! Thanks for this video!

While I was there, I fell in love with the Wisconsin Old Fashioned. Our favorite hangout was Beachcomber Lounge in Rhinelander, WI. The people there were great... just a lot of fun, and the bartenders, Tom and Deb, were just the best! I tried several different variations on the Old Fashioned there...sweet, sour, press, garnished with cherries, mushrooms, etc. I'll just say.... they were ALL good in their own ways. We loved going there and being accepted as "out-of-towners-but-for-an-extended-period-of-time." 😂 I loved this video! Thank you!!!

I grew up and still live in Texas, but my in-laws are from Wisconsin. The WI Old Fashioned really is a fascinating cocktail because it is so customizable. Whenever I visit my wife's family in Wisconsin, I am just amazed by how this cocktail is pretty much everyone's drink of choice there, but everyone also makes their's slightly differently. And I have grown to love it was well. I don't drink one every day after dinner like my father-in-law, but every now and then I just crave one. I prefer mine with whiskey and squirt (sour) and I like to garnish mine with a salty garnish - olives if that is all I have, but pickled brussel sprouts are actually really good. Thanks for making this one!

As I recall it was the Edison vs. Tesla, AC vs. DC battle that was decided going into that fair where AC power was used. That book is also a great two part story, one for the horrific exploits of H.H. Holmes and the other of the amazing story of the fair itself, the trials and tribulations of pulling it off, the conflicts of the major players of the day and how it almost didn't happen. A wonderful bit of history from a pretty wild time in America.

I take issue the use of simple syrup. My experience with Old Fashions, goes back to the 60s in Illinois and Wisconsin. I always saw and used Sugar Dots as the sweetener. You saturated the sugar dots (one or two with the bitters). Add the orange slice and cherry, then muddle. The difference here lies in the fact that the sugar acts as a abrasive that helps extract more juices and flavour from the fruit. After that proceed per your recipe. I also tended bar in Miami/Miami Beach in the early 70s. All the old time Bartenders that I knew, made their Old Fashions this way. You certainly have a more current view of the midwestern cocktail trends than I do. This is just my perspective from 50 years ago. I love your UTubes. Keep up the great work.
