Making a cocktail for each Iowa State game. Today's game is against the Kansas State Wildcats. It's Farmageddon, the longest continuous series in college football history, and the ultimate showdown between corn and wheat.

But is it really even a contest? Corn is obviously superior. And as the superior grain, it is showcased prominently in America's most famous spirit - bourbon. So of course today's drink is an Iowan twist on a classic. I present the Iowa Old Fashioned.

• 2 oz Bourbon (Cedar Ridge)
• ¼ oz Busch Latte Syrup*
• ¼ oz Nixta (sweet corn liqueur)
• 2 dashes Angostura Bitters

*Equal parts Busch Light and pure cane sugar by weight. Warm up on a stove on low and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Mix everything with ice and strain over fresh ice. Garnish with a cherry.
