ABOUT
Someone said I hate bourbon, so here’s a cocktail you need to make. This one comes from the legendary Sasha Petraske. Bourbon, lemon, and honey already make a solid trio. Yellow Chartreuse adds an herbal twist that takes it to another level. A generous float of Angostura bitters brings even more depth. To quote Carolyn Gill, who worked at Milk & Honey, “The Stark may be a very simple drink, but the love put into it makes it very special.” Cheers y’all!
