Max’s Manhattan Cocktail Recipe from Sold on a Monday

In my latest historical novel, Sold on a Monday, I was thrilled to include a swanky New York supper club from my previous book, The Edge of Lost—along with a cameo from a certain underworld character.

Hence, to celebrate the end of Prohibition, I hope your book club will love the sweet Italian twist of the specially crafted cocktail, Max’s Manhattan!
