The Full Shelves
Rye old fashioned with maple, toasted caraway & orange peel — a 2:30 AM bread-truck toast

Why this cocktail? It's the predawn bread-truck toast — substantial, unhurried, made for the people who show up.

Ryan's father stocked Martin's Potato Rolls before sunrise while competitors dropped and left. This rye old fashioned is that shift in a glass — rye and caraway for New Jersey bakery air, maple for the slow sweetness of work nobody is watching, and orange peel for the first light coming up over the parking lot.
