Dining at Gage in Chicago with my new wife and had a delightful rye drink called Winter Classic. Rittenhouse Rye, cherry, maple syrup and orange. Basically a maple syrup old fashioned with no bitters. Tasty.

Update: Turns out there was Angostura bitters in it (my taste buds are getting better) and it just wasn’t listed on the menu. So it is basically a maple old fashioned. W00t!  Shoot me your recommendations for Chicago. Unfortunately Aviary is closed during my trip but I am looking for other good places. So far Longman & Eagle is leading the charge for tomorrow.
