Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with an orange twist.Towards the end of our evening in Portland, Maine, two Wednesdays ago, we headed over to The Danforth for a nightcap. There, I asked bartender Garrett Jones for the West End that he attributed to Death & Co.'s Tyson Buhler who helped to consult on the menu. This was Tyson's Manhattan tribute to the neighborhood where The Danforth is located. In the glass, the West End gave forth an orange and grape aroma. Next, the grape notes continued on the sip where they were chased by rye, dry grape, apricot, and spice flavors on the swallow.
