The Franklin goes halfsies for the summer

The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. (112 S. 18th St.), one of our fave mixed-drink nooks, is rolling out what they're calling a "half cocktail menu" to mark its first year in the booze business. Starting this coming Monday, June 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. and running weekdays through Labor Day, the bar will offer eight drinks — about half the size of their normal pour, but also half the price ($6) — to allow drinkers to taste through more cocktails than is typically socially acceptable. Opening tipples will include summer-friendly drinks like the classic daiquiri, The Kensington (bourbon, dry and sweet vermouths, Peychaud's bitters and orange marmalade, served up) and the Queens Park Swizzle (lime juice, mint, dark rum, sugar, bitters).

The Kensington sounds fantastic. Was wondering when Philly would get some jam cocktails.
