We're celebrating the weekend with a few bottles of cider from Botanist and Barrel, the South's only natural cidery and located just down the road in Cedar Grove. Get in on the fun with a glass tonight 🍷

◻️ Tart Blueberry Cider. Whole Estate grown organic blueberries co-fermented with apple and then rested in Chemist Gin Barrels to lend gentle botanical notes.
◻️ Scarlett. Inspired by the comfort of mulled wine. Tree-ripe apples with a mix of red grape skins for deep color and layered complexity with a warm rush of allspice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger root, star anise, and a hint of orange peel.
◻️ Aunt Ginny. Southern apple cider aged in local Cardinal Gin Barrels and bottle conditioned. Tastes like apple skins infused with refreshing botanicals and zesty juniper.
◻️ No Salt Please. A still, bone-dry cider rested in Añejo tequila barrels for warm agave depth, soft oak, and a gentle nutty richness. Subtle smoke, and quietly complex.

The bar has been busy. Fresh new cócteles coming at you!

🌿🍋‍🟩 Rebujito. Vodka, fino sherry, mint, citrus, soda, Bittermen's Boston Bittahs.
Our riff on the classic Spanish drink. Originating from Andalusia, this refreshing, bubbly cocktail is a staple of southern Spanish festivals (ferias). It is made by mixing Fino (or Manzanilla) sherry with lemon-lime soda, fresh mint, and plenty of ice. We've added Vodka to ours to amp it up, plus fresh citrus and a mint syrup instead of soda. Very refreshing and Mojito-esque!

👩‍🌾🪻 Abuela's Garden. Gin, fino sherry, Luxardo, lemon, Crème de Violette, thyme, saline.
Our take on an Aviator and we've infused the gin with thyme and added a touch of saline. This one is mildly floral and citrusy. Very garden party!

🪵🔥 Smoke Show. Mezcal, Luzardo Bitter Bianco, Mata blanco, lavender.
A white negroni made with mezcal, booze forward. The mezcal is infused with lavender and orange peels, so the smoke flavor is muted and the floral notes of the mezcal comes forward. Very spring!
