MEANING BEHIND THE COCKTAIL NAME 

The “Mess Hall Old Fashioned” is a nod to the communal dining spaces in the military where service members come together to share meals and stories over hearty, comforting food. The flavors of maple and bacon bring to mind classic, down-to-earth dishes found in a mess hall. This drink honors the spirit of camaraderie, warmth, and the rich, familiar flavors that evoke a sense of home and shared experience.
