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.

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.
