There was a selection of specialty cocktails, and I went with the server’s recommendation.
Featured cocktails, which seemed intricate and well-thought-out, range from $20 to $24. The bar is also willing to make any off-menu classic you have a craving for (though those prices will vary depending on the drink).
I landed on the 500 Miles High, which was one of the most-ordered and best drinks on the menu at the time of my visit, according to our server. It costs $20 and is made using yuzu shu, lychee, St. George pear brandy, and lemon and shiso leaf.
While I didn’t really taste the lychee, I felt like it was prominent in the color of the drink. Instead, my palate picked up notes of the pear and yuzu. Overall, I don’t think there was one ingredient that overpowered the others. They all worked together, in my opinion, to offer a unique flavor.
I’m personally not a fan of sweeter drinks, and I was pleasantly surprised that, despite having brandy in it, this drink wasn’t overly sweet.
I also tried the margarita, which was mentioned as another high point of the menu. This classic costs $21 and is made with lime, agave, and the drinker’s choice of either Herradura Ultra Añejo tequila or Dos Hombres Mezcal — we went with tequila.
While it was refreshing and simple, I thought the 500 Miles High was the better order. You can find a great margarita for much less than $21 in other restaurants and bars in this city.
