Anyone who knows me well knows that I love a well made Manhattan.  I’ll drink them on the rocks or up…I’m not picky.  Last summer I picked up this special edition election bottle of Maker’s Mark from a liquor store in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area where I live.  It displayed both the elephant and the donkey with the red, white & blue wax.  I should have saved it, but my will power was weak.  It was delicious.
