High Horse
This cocktail was created by Shannon Tebay Sidle, while she was a bartender at New York’s Death & Co. The High Horse is inspired by the famous historical figure George Washington, his Mount Vernon Estate and the Colonial flavors of that era, highlighting the influence of cherries in those early days of American history.
