The editorial take
The cocktail menu runs twelve named drinks at $11–$15, built on Tito's, Bulleit, Bar Hill, Royal Tiger single malt, Double Cross vodka, and a house-infused jalapeno tequila. House infusions also drive the pineapple vodka in the Sparkling Pineapple Cosmo. Sangria comes in classic red and white plus a sparkling Riesling version, by glass or pitcher. The wine list holds a Wine Spectator award, and there is a $7 non-alcoholic peach mule for anyone skipping spirits.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Black Manhattan — Bulleit bourbon, amaro, angostura bitters, orange zest, and a maraska cherry. For something built on the house infusions, the Summer Sun Margarita uses jalapeno tequila with guava, mango, habanero agave, and a tajin rim. Sangria is available by the glass or pitcher.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want recognizable spirit brands in their cocktails rather than a list of house-only pours. The sangria by the glass or pitcher suits a group ordering together, and the $7 non-alcoholic peach mule covers a guest who is not drinking spirits.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $11–$15, with mojitos at $11. Sangria is $11–$14 per glass and $35–$45 per pitcher. The non-alcoholic peach mule is $7.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- House-infused spirits appear in several drinks rather than one token pour — jalapeno tequila in the Summer Sun Margarita, pineapple vodka in the Sparkling Pineapple Cosmo. The sangria list covers classic red and white plus a sparkling Riesling version, priced both by the glass and by the pitcher.
