Do you lime with the Rona?

Sometimes. I didn't the other night as I bought my 'Ronas on a whim at a gas station and wasn't going to buy Limes there lol. So I went without.

I got a bottle of that for Christmas, I've been using it to make a much more girly drink Old Fashioned.

Did you ever try a smoked Manhattan? My daughter took one of my cedar planks that I use to grill Salmon, and her and her friends fire it up and make smoked Manhattans. They are pretty good, better with hickory than cedar IMO.

Hipsterish, as hipster as Glen Ellyn can get. Great cocktails and food, the best charcuterie board I've ever had.

Third drink down.

Scroll down and check out the beer list Mr. Kavanaugh, they also have a great whiskey collection.

Going to try this place out. Looks good.

Old Fashioned probably has more abv than a Manhattan, it's a great drink. Try it with brandy to feel like a real Wisconsinite.

Never have tried it smoked, I'm pretty boring with cocktails.

Same owner but drink prices are different?

Yeah Maize+Mash is definitely higher end than the other places, in both food and drink, their $12 drinks use better booze, they also have $10 drinks. A friend of a friend knows the guy and some of the staff, a bartender poured me a comped $33 shot of Van Winkle Rye, it was great, not $33 great, butt still very good.

He has different partners at M+M and they are going for a more up scale bistro feel, it's working the place is always packed. His other places are always packed also, they all have great food and are cool places to hang out.
