They’re running a $100 off Christmas sale but use code ANDERS for an extra 10% off!
Today we're making the Monte Carlo! This cocktail is commonly seen as a variation on the Manhattan, but it drinks closer to an Old Fashioned. Like the Rusty Nail and Godfather, the Monte Carlo makes for a great spirit-forward nightcap. Feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your taste. Cheers!
