Twenty brand spankin' new cocktails tonight at Franklin Mortgage
Well, we've still got a little while to go before but we would like to let you know that when 5 o'clock hits Franklin Mortgage (112. S 18th St.) is the place to be. Head bartender, Al Sotack announced that Franklin's 14th menu is rolling out tonight with 8 classics and 20 new additions to the menu. As per usual the menu is made up of cocktails crafted by the entire staff including newcomers like Sara Justice and recently promoted Colin O'Neill.
We have to agree with Sotack, the menu is looking pretty stellar, rife with music, film and lit references. There are plenty of places in town mixing up solid cocktails but we're pretty sure that Franklin in the only place where you can choose from drinks named for Deerhunter albums and Aleister Crowley books.
