Words from the bartender…

When simplicity and creativity go on a date.

I abhor anyone suggesting a girly or lightweight drink for me, assuming that as a woman - that’s what I want or all I can handle. I embrace the bold brown - bourbon and whiskey. I linger over distinct whites - tequila, gin, vodka and absinthe. And I still delicately savor the liqueurs - from St. Germaine to Creme de Violette. On occasion, I do enjoy a drink with all the frills. And on other occasions, I enjoy an Old Fashioned. Those occasions are known as breakfast. Girly drinks and manly drinks aren’t real. A drink is a drink - it’s bold or subtle, smooth or sharp, shaken or stirred and much more.

I’m drawn to the creativity involved in mixology. It’s an opportunity to communicate without words. The bartender conjures a chill atmosphere, adds a little levity to a laid back evening, and brings the bubbles to brunch.

Take a tour with me. Travel the world and your city through spirits. Indulge me as I explore everything from handmade sugar cubes to infusions of the herbal variety (lavender, not that herb). There are entire aisles and shelves just begging for your attention.
