Jesse Lee took over ownership of this Brookings local favorite in April 2014. Whether it’s the live music every Friday, their farm-to-table ingredients, or the mouth-watering lunch and dinner menu, Old Market is a must-try.
In the February issue of 605 Magazine, bartender Shane Skinner and baker Lindsey Casey share two of their favorite recipes, and in this web extra, they share two more.

2 oz. citrus vodka
0.5 oz. simple syrup
