About
This cocktail is an old one by the amazing Erick Castro (@hungrybartender) and pays homage to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s mistress, Lucy Mercer, famously barred from the cocktail hour. He made it at the now-closed Boilermaker in Manhattan (New York). Meletti adds bittersweet depth with caramel and herbal warmth. This sipper is as intriguing as its namesake.Cheers y’all!
