Cocktails

All The Girls Love Alice

16

A brooding little heartbreaker built on blueberry-kissed Montenegro, lifted with dry vermouth and a whisper of Manzanilla. Maple-blueberry-citrus syrup softens the edges while Angostura and coffee bitters add a dark wink. Smooth, aromatic, and quietly dramatic.

Be My Clementine

15

Bright, soft, and citrus-forward — like someone who sends good-morning texts and actually means them. Citadelle Gin, Italicus, and orange liqueur meet lemon and orgeat for a silky, cloudlike sour with a sunny disposition.

NA version available

Bless Your Little Black Heart

15

A Southern-gothic Old Fashioned with a velvet streak. Woodford Double-oak bourbon deepened by cassis, sharpened with black garlic and pink peppercorn tinctures.

Brew Berry

11

Blueberry-maple syrup shaken with a fresh espresso shot and lengthened with tonic. Sparkling, bitter-sweet, and surprisingly addictive.

Non-Alcoholic

Chocolate Martini

14

A bright, modern chocolate martini that refuses to be heavy. Citron vodka and crème de cacao meet chocolate bitters and a touch of saline for a clean, glossy finish. Dessert energy without the sugar crash.

NA version available

Betty

12

A berry-bright crush with cranberry, lemon, and grenadine, topped with snow-soft crushed ice. Tart, juicy, and Valentine-ready.

Non-Alcoholic

Love On The Rocks

14

A citrus-driven tequila refresher with a floral pulse. Herradura blanco tequila, limoncello, lemon, lime, and agave shaken with lavender and black lemon bitters. Zesty, aromatic, and unapologetically flirty.

Space Cowgirl

14

A martini for the ones who stay curious. Ford's Gin and house white vermouth blend, stirred with orange and black lemon bitters for a crisp, interstellar brightness. Clean lines and good cosmic Texas energy.

You Can Call Me Al

15

A lush, grown-up cream cocktail with depth and restraint. Planteray Dark rum, cacao, coffee liqueur, fino sherry, and cream shaken into a silky nightcap. Finished with Biscoff dust for a warm, spiced aroma.

NA version available

The Salty Italian

11

A tiny, savory-sweet sipper with big personality. Montenegro amaro and walnut liqueur stirred with saline, finished with butter-washed smoked paprika oil. Nutty, aromatic, and delightfully unexpected.

Garden Party Rules

13

Bright, green, and a little mischievous — Ford's gin, fino sherry, lime, and celery coming together in a crisp, savory snap.

NA version available

Olympic Daydreams

13

A bright, floral alpine refresher — Aspen vodka with chamomile, gentian aperitif, and grapefruit for a crisp, sun-kissed lift.

NA version available

Proper's Spicy Pickle-tini

12

A spicy little troublemaker — vodka loaded with turmeric, chiles, jalapeño, mustard, and Best Maid Sour pickles for a briny snap that does not behave.
