Cheers to the Weekend: Monkey Business

It's that time of the week when we say "Cheers to the weekend!" Every Friday night, we invite a local bartender to share their signature cocktail.

Terrence Swain, the head bartender at Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington D.C., joined us to mix up "Monkey Business."

Cocktail: Fallen Leaf

1.5 oz Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch
.5 oz Drambuie
