  • 2-3 orange slices
  • 2-3 maraschino cherries

  • Add ice on top of muddled ingredients
  • Add brandy and top with soda
  • Stir to combine

Notes

* The classic way to make this cocktail is to use a sugar cube, but brown sugar takes this drink to the next level!
* An alternative liquor option is whiskey.
