Rogue 24 “chef-tender” Bryan Tetorakis shows off a Rogue 24 signature, the whiskey-based Smoked Highball. His favorite band, Marcy Playground, wasn’t part of the lineup, but he still paid tribute to the singers with a flowery hibiscus cocktail named after their song, “Ancient Walls of Flowers.” Photograph by Dakota Fine.
