Driving from gig to gig, playing mixologist, giving away free booze — week after week, it can get exhausting. Somehow, Ashley Miller and her Sailor Jerry cohorts muster the strength to enliven parties everywhere. Here’s a little about her and one of her favorites, the Lola.
Drink of choice:
Lola
2 parts Sailor Jerry Rum
1 part sweet vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine in glass over ice; garnish with an orange
