The Top 20 Finalists in the Great Jones Manhattan Competition | Eater
"Tony A.K.A The Italian Manhattan is a love letter to the borough’s Italian heritage and community. Using rosemary brown butter fat-washed Great Jones Empire Rye, Faretti Biscotti liqueur, lemon peel Carpano Dry Vermouth, and enhanced with a touch of saline solution, Salomon crafted a drink that celebrates the flavors of the city. “Tony was a simple man — a construction worker, husband, father, and Yankees fan till the end of his days,” Haili says, personifying the drink’s inspiration. “But for all his simplicity, he knew how he liked the few things he enjoyed, and nothing was better for Tony than relaxing after work with a glass of dry vermouth and starting his dinner with freshly made focaccia, the smell of rosemary in the air.”" - Julia Gómez Kramer
