New York City

Apparently an elderberry liquer is all the rage at swanky hotel bars in NYC. It is icluded in specialty drinks( tinis, etc) at $16 a pop. Beers are $12. That's ok, says a writer for the NYT, just pretend that you got two. If you're from Mille Lacs & area, you'd have to pretend that you got four, which is a stretch. Happy 5th. Have a good picnic.
