FAREWELL MY LOVELY AT ROTHBARD ALE + LARDER
“This cocktail is always a favorite. It’s a mix of vodka, Giffard Pamplemousse—grapefruit liqueur—lime and grapefruit bitters, so it is sweet with a citrus appeal. We had it on the cocktail list last summer, then took it off briefly. People asked for it still, so now it’s back.” –Joe Farrell, owner
