Everyones heard of an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan,  but have you ever heard of a Turkey Fight? We hadn't either. Coming all the way to us from Montana through our good friend Matt Morse from The Admiral in West Asheville, this cocktail is a married Combination of a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned created by Matts friend and mentor in food and beverage Brent Bushong. Brent used to make this Cocktail every year for their employee party. When Matt Moved to away from Montana he took this tradition with him and made his own twist to his favorite holiday drink.
