The Old Style lager flavor is immediately detectable, but is then mellowed and complemented by lemon, vodka, and pecan-brown sugar syrup. It&#8217;s a strange sensation to describe, but this refined cocktail immediately transported me to the sun-drenched bleachers at a summer Cubs game. The salty rim and sticky-sweet pecan brittle garnish, which my friend described as the best brittle she&#8217;d ever had, not only enhanced the nutty notes from the syrup, but also further evoked the ballpark spirit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The details:<\/strong> <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tipplinghall.com\/\" title=\"Tippling Hall\">Tippling Hall<\/a>, 646 N.
