Save the Last Dance

Brian Maxwell keeps shakin’ those cocktails and brings us this beauty that ends up being a great combination of bitter and sweet balanced perfectly. He named it after a song by the Drifters that tells the story of a man reminding his beloved that she is free to mingle and dance with whomever she wants but to save the last dance for him. It’s a nice sentiment but as for me, drink what you want but save one of these for me.
