Montana Payback Cocktail Recipe
There's an intricate story to each of the cocktail names at this eccentric Philadelphia cocktail den. They are each mementos of American history, lovingly collected on a cross-country road trip by the bar's owner, Lêe, when he first arrived here from Vietnam. This drink, the Montana Payback, refers to the Battle of Greasy Grass, also known as Custer's Last Stand. For more 2012 Best Cocktails, click here. (Photo: Felicia Perretti.)
