Cider Lowball Craft Cocktail
We believe in taking inspiration from the classics and giving them a refreshing update. Our Bartender’s Special for November is the Cider Lowball, and it does just that.
The Cider Lowball is inspired by the classic whiskey sour. Vanilla, Benedictine and unfiltered apple cider create a nostalgic and familiar flavor that’s both refreshing and surprisingly familiar. The Cider Lowball takes its name from the glassware used. Commonly referred to as a “bucket” or “rocks” glass, this glassware has also been referred to as a “lowball” or “old fashioned” glass.
The Cider Lowball is a perfect fall-inspired cocktail to add into your drink repertoire any time of year.

Jon Rowley Tribute in Forbes
The Pacific Northwest has a historic relationship with seafood. The same could be said of our relationship with the late Chef Jon Rowley.

This homage was featured in a recent article by Forbes Magazine, which spoke about tributes to late seafood legends in Seattle. Read the full article here!
