    The Made Bed

    Bourbon old fashioned with honey, orange & Angostura — control as foundation

    Making the bed. Repeating the same structure. Establishing rhythms that do not change even as projects do.

    Why this cocktail? Bryan's daily habits are his creative foundation. This precise old fashioned is discipline in a glass.
