It is made with London Dry Gin, dry vermouth, bitters, lemon peel and an olive. The three-course Men Who Built America pre-fixe menu ($59.99) includes: Choice of Caesar Salad, Classic Dressing Chopped Spinach Salad, Warm Bacon Dressing or Morton's Salad, Blue Cheese Dressing, Chopped Egg & Anchovies
