Manhattan Cocktails With Orange Bitters 3 Ways

(27)
"House-made spiced orange bitters in Manhattans, along with a recap on my recent trip to the big city.. Work at the restaurant has been CRAZY-CRAZY demanding, and all I want to do is sleep in. Here's to hoping I feel strong enough {auto correct wanted to say "stoned enough", lol} for a run and a good stretch. I also want to say how much I appreciate you all in this tiny, online, weird IG app universe here. I have met so many interesting people, many of whom I've met IRL. I really love how people come together on different platforms and connect in so many diverse, yet inspiring, situations. I'm feeling extra grateful this evening. Do you feel the same way?? Big x's and o's to all of you tonight."
