Complementing the culinary offerings, the bar menu introduces four new handcrafted cocktails that capture fall’s flavors.
First up is the Fall Fashioned – a cozy take on the classic Old Fashioned, blending bourbon with cinnamon-maple syrup and bitters. The cocktail is garnished with a twist of orange peel and a cinnamon stick, adding a warm, aromatic finish.
Next, the Autumn Rum showcases a delightful rum paired with an apple cider reduction and cranberry, topped with club soda. Garnished with an orange peel and star anise, it’s a refreshing option that captures the essence of autumn in each sip.
For a Halloween treat, there’s The Witching Hour Smash, which combines smooth reposado tequila with tangy blood orange liqueur and zesty lime juice. A touch of agave syrup adds sweetness, while activated charcoal gives it an alluring dark hue. It’s garnished with blackberries and mint.
Lastly, there’s the Apple of My Rye, a blend of rye whiskey, apple cider reduction, lemon, and ginger beer. Finished with a lemon wheel garnish, it offers a crisp, tart flavor profile that’s great for fall evenings.
