EPH 2:7-9 Plath’s Meats

2020 was, by all accounts, nuts. Could it have been worse? Well, 100 years ago Jan. 17, the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution went into effect, establishing the prohibition of alcohol in this country. Had that amendment not been repealed in 1933, our collective sanity during this pandemic might well have been lost. So as we head into 2021, we give thanks to an oftenoverlooked category of essential workers, those who converted from spirits to sanitizer to keep us safe, and then back to spirits again to soothe our nerves: our local distillers and their staff. With this cocktail, we give special thanks to our partners over at Iron Fish Distillery and encourage you to pick up a bottle of their Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Maple Syrup Barrels. Ingredients Instructions Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into a martini glass and add three drops of Peychaud’s bitters. Garnish with a sprig of mint and celebrate: 2020 is almost behind us! Difficulty: We look forward to serving our featured cocktails in person when it’s safe to reopen! For the most upto-date information on reopening and upcoming events, follow us on Facebook. OVER 107 YEARS OF
