This is a perfect brandy old fashioned recipe (well I think it is). I love them in the winter - it is certainly a drink from Wisconsin. So grab a bottle of good brandy (or whiskey) and let's get making that cocktail.
RECIPE FOR BRANDY OLD FASHIONED
cocktail glass (tub) 3 ounces brandy (or whiskey) 2 dashes Angostura bitters 1 sugar cube (approximately 1 teaspoon white sugar) 7up (sweet) or Squirt (sour) orange slices and cherries, for garnish
Place a sugar cube in the bottom of the tub and crush. Add the bitters and 3 ounces of 7up or Squirt. Mix well and fill with ice. Top off with brandy (or whiskey). Stir with straw and garnish with orange slice and a cherry.
You don't have to use a sugar cube; a teaspoon of sugar will do. I just like this "old fashioned" part of making this drink, and this was how I was taught how to make them. I also love to make them "sour" with Squirt and have olives in them instead of fruit.

First combine the mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder and salt. Add remaining ingredients - chill before serving.
