Brown’s Old Fashioned
A well-made Old Fashioned feels like a warm silk being laid upon your heart by citrus scented angels. But it can also be one of the most hit-or-miss items on a drink menu — and for good reason. It’s a drink that takes time to get right and many bartenders have more to worry about than your Don Draper impression. With that said, ordering an Old Fashioned at Brown’s Socialhouse might be the best thing you ever do.
