Barrel'ly' Aged Craft Cocktail
As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, we look forward to the comfort that fall brings – and, a cocktail to go with the changing of seasons. If you feel the same way, our September Bartender’s Special is the perfect end-of-season cocktail to add to your list.
Barrel’ly’ Aged combines the oaky sweetness of bourbon with the brightness of citrus. Flavors of vanilla bean, complimented with the smoky complexity of barrel-aged bourbon, are reminiscent of the sweet, cozy and robust flavors of autumn. The bright sweetness of pineapple and lime juice, on the other hand, reminds us that it’s not quite the fall equinox just yet.

Waking Dragon Craft Cocktail
This February we celebrate Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon. Our bartender’s special for the month, Walking Dragon, is a play on the classic craft cocktail, the Last Word.
At first sip, the Suntory ‘Toki’ Japanese whisky envelops the palate with notes of oak and a delicate sweetness. While the Green Chartreuse adds an herbal complexity, the grapefruit and lime introduce a burst of tangy citrus, lending a vibrant and refreshing element to the drink. For a “grand finale" of sorts, and to elevate this cocktail further, a drizzle of wasabi oil is carefully rested on the surface. This captivating blend of flavors creates a memorable drinking experience, enticing those seeking a unique and adventurous libation.
