This handmade leather coaster is the perfect blend of history and function.
Unlike the traditional Old Fashioned cocktail made with whiskey, Wisconsin's version features brandy. This twist comes from the 1800s when German immigrants brought their love of brandy to the state. Over time, Wisconsinites embraced this change, making it a staple at supper clubs, bars and family gatherings. This signature cocktail has two variations and can be served either sweet or sour, with muddled fruit, cherries and orange slices.
The iconic drink, often enjoyed around the holidays is a symbol of tradition in Wisconsin and what better way to enjoy it than with this beautifully crafted leather coaster? Not only does it pay homage to the significant history of the drink, it is the perfect companion for Wisconsin's favorite cocktail.

Sugarhouse Leather is a small-scale leather studio based in Milwaukee, WI, specializing in handcrafted leather goods made from the finest harness leather. Known for their rustic yet refined style, they create unique, high-quality coasters that are individually cut and embossed by hand. The coasters will naturally develop a patina over time.
