Two Sundays ago, Andrea and I paid a visit to the Hawthorne where bartenders Katie Emmerson and Nicole Lebedevitch were behind the stick. For a first drink, my eyes wandered over to the Swizzle section of the menu and asked Nicole to make me the Red Maple Swizzle. Once made, the Smith & Cross's funk filled the aroma along with a hint of Peychaud's Bitters. Next the rich, lemon sip was followed by maple and Smith & Cross on the swallow.
