Can’t decide between whisky or wine? Have both. While it’s not on their current menu, the bartenders at F&B are always pleased to serve you a New York Sour. It’s your traditional whisky sour with a red wine float on top. The drink is a balance between sweet and sour with a velvety texture.

When a fire needs to be started to make your cocktail, you know you’re in for some serious business. The craft distillery uses apple wood chips to smoke their whisky as well as vermouth and bitters before putting it in a glass for you to enjoy.
