How it sits with the food
The creative cocktails are designed to stand alone, but the menu's mention of dishes like filet and Chilean sea bass suggests they could complement richer foods. A brown butter tequila cocktail might pair well with a seared fish, while a gin-based drink could work with lighter appetizers.
