Returning to this, we decided to serve it straight up in a Nick and Nora glass. We think it fits snugly therein, the glass complements the elegance of the drink and dilution from melting ice is best avoided here.

I had an idea this would be yummy, but it was even more delicious than I expected. This has gone up to my top favorites list and might become my favorite way to enjoy Aperol and maybe even rye!

Whether you are looking for a Manhattan or an old fashioned riff, this has you covered. It might also be the very first drink I’ve had that was improved by smoking.

Hopefully a Cuban cigar. Many drinks are improved by a dance with one of those.

This reminded us a bit of the "Old Money No.2". Similarly smooth and elegant. Maybe the creator caught the cook staff down below in a 'chill' mood.
