2 cups brandy
2 Liters 7-Up soda chilled

When ready to serve, , put glasses in freezer for 5-10 minutes. Combine equal amounts of brandy mixture with chilled 7-Up in a lowball glass.
Mix gently, garnish with an orange slice and a Maraschino cherry and serve, straws are optional.

Notes

While I wanted to stay true to the original recipe for this blog post, I'm also going to try serving this with ginger beer. I think the spiciness of that beverage might be a great addition!
