Go Tell it On The Mountain + The Old Fashioned

"Go Tell It On The Mountain" by James Baldwin is a story deeply rooted in family and all the complicated life paths they take. The main character, Johnny, is supposed to become a preacher like his father Gabriel. But, through fire and brimstone, saving and sinning we find out that no one is as saved as they would like to be and faith, violence, sex, and religion are all tightly wound with the secrets the family keeps.

So much of this story is wrapped up in dark and murky feeling and many mentions of whiskey. This a classic struggle between faith, family, and internal self. This read needs nothing that is a surprise... just a classic. Think the uncomplicated and quintessential mix of whisky, sugar, and bitters of the Old Fashioned. Check out this beauty from The Normandie Club in Los Angeles and check out the Old Fashion riffs that Imbibe Magazine covered. Grab yourself a glass, mix it up, and start turing the pages of the book.
