The Maximillian Affair was created by Boston bartender Misty Kalkofen around 2008 at the Green Street Bar in the neighboring City of Cambridge. This bar was about four blocks from the house I grew up in and I’m tickled pink that a modern classic came from it. It’s now sadly percentile closed, most probably one of the many covid casualties.
