We are at a place called The Southerner in Saugatuck MI. A plate of fried chicken with Crystal butter, fried catfish, shrimp etouffe, collard greens, bread and butter pickles, and biscuits.
A lovely Manhattan to go with it.
It’s a great evening to be me.

Upgrade your Manhattan? I love a Manhattan, but tried to improve on the best-in-the-world vermouth of Carpano Antica Formula. I’ve found Sfumato, Montenegro, Tempus Fugit Gran Classico Bitters, and Cynar amari as improvements. Try one sometime, and see if it improves your experience.
I favor bourbon in the mix rather than rye. Which is, I’m sure, a personal preference.
Happy Weekend!
