Mister Katz's Rock & Rye

Mister Katz's Rock & Rye

Talk about Ghosts of the Past! Rock & Rye was a cultural phenomenon during the late 19th century - a marriage of young rye and sweet rock candy, designed to mask the harshness of the Rye and marketed as a cure for all ills. However, prohibition pretty much killed this staple drink. It took over a century for a respectable version of this popular concoction to hit shelves across the country. However, this time, the shelves were licensed liquor retailers and not pharmacies! Allen Katz, who along with Tom Potter, founded New York Distilling Company, came up with the idea of this drink. A nationally renowned cocktail consultant and a celebrity on the bar circuit across the country, he named the drink to honor his father and grandfather, both of whom were Rock & Rye drinkers. After all, they are Mister Katz. He's Allen. This is your drink if you like cocktails but are too lazy to cobble one together every night. Or for multiple guests. Get this today and make it a staple on your bar. The Times, they may be a-changin', but the more things change the more they remain the same.
