Bartender Stories

Sian Ferguson-Nagan

Johnnie Salon was the famed bartender of the Big Brass Rail, an NYC watering hole frequented by the robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He coined this cocktail after a visit to the Bronx Zoo, claiming there was no discernable difference between the zoo and his bar. Serve this up to your favorite monkey.
