Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. just dropped the latest quarterly update to their cocktail menu, and they’re billing it as a stone cold gas, man. General manager Colin Shearn, who we reported in the past punched up Supper’s rockist-inspired cocktail list followed by another inspired by classic metal albums, continues working in a similar groove. The Franklin’s latest effort he’s likening to a “double album of delicious drinks.” And with several flips, new punches and bucks to boast, it looks as if all that’s missing are the seeds and stems stuck in the gate-fold. Keep reading to see the entire new menu.
