Well I put up the old menu, here's the new. Paul McGee is at it again with some insane cocktail choices at 3 Dots and A Dash. I hope they still know how to make the "Tall As A Tree Twice As Shady" and "Lonely Island."

Plenty of you already know the ins and outs of making an Old Fashioned, but let’s start the week out with a baseline.

Who better to set this standard than Chris McMillian. McMillian is something of a legend. He’s a fourth-generation bartender who’s been making classic cocktails long before they were popular (again.)
