[Luxurious, Tart, Balance-aga]

Ryes of the Dilluminati

Sunbuttered Sazerac Rye, Dilled Sakura Wood Aged Sour Beer Honey, Lemon, Pickle Foam, Bruleed Pickle

“It has come to my attention that a cabal, styling themselves the Dilluminati, is ryesing and even now gathers in secret, their intentions steeped in brine and obscurity. They whisper of balance — sweet, sour, and strange — but I fear their true aim is to pickle the very soul of the Republic.”
— G. Washington (Earth 617)

(Seedy, Briney, Fun)

The Curse of the Pistachio Pearl

Pistachio Butter Washed Peated Scotch, Blackberry, Blueberry, Macadamia Orgeat, Kumquat Liqueur, Lime

Mayo and Mt. Dew Infused Tequila, Malort, Taco Bell Hot Sauce Passion Fruit, Combier Orange Liqueur, Lime Juice

Party up front, serious cocktail technique out back. Not for everyone, but some find it more delicious than high interest financing on a new dirt bike, and more memorable than a first date on a jet-ski while your friend blasts “Bawitdaba” from his IROC Camaro on shore. Served in an extra jumbo chalice fit for the King (or Queen) of the Trailer Park.

[Complicated, Mountain Citrus, Slight Savory Zing]

[Nutty, Slight Smoke, Bittersweet Berry]

Primavera Sound Potion

Red Wine and Mexican Coke Switched Bourbon, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 2025 CG Pick, Vanilla Aperitivo Syrup, House Bitters, Jamaican Pimento Wood Smoke

An ode to the Kalimotxo (pronounced Cali-Mocho), a drink concocted in the 70’s to sell red wine at a Spanish music festival wine by mixing in Coca-Cola. This old-fashioned style brown and stirred is then smoked with Jamaican pimento wood to add some light tropical spice alongside the cocktail’s robust undertones.

[Bittersweet, Smoked, Rich]

Wabbit Season

Cherried Duck Fat Washed Buffalo Trace, Strawberried Campari, Jammy, Cardamaro, Amaro Kim

[Culinary, Red-Fruit Balanced, All -Fun-and-Game]

A Bright bouquet of complex flavors with the delicate bitterness of the one who says they will write but never does.

[Bright, Bitter, Smokey]

Tsuro of the Seas

Dragonfruit, Kiwi, and Thyme Infused Pisco, Dolin Blanc Vermouth, House Orange Bitters

To swim… to soar… to break off from being associated with strawberries for just a single summer day… and to bask in the simple spotlight.

[Breezy, Zen-Mode Fruit Ninja, Fresh-Water]
