Whether you’re sipping on a bold, bittersweet amaro creation or a vibrant South American classic, our spring cocktails take your taste buds on a global journey—without ever leaving your barstool.

A World of Flavor: Our New Spring Cocktails
Our latest menu is a celebration of spring, featuring house-made liquors—think blackberry, peach, and banana—alongside tropical tiki influences and a showcase of amaro, the beloved Italian herbal liqueur with roots tracing back to ancient Rome. Add in a touch of South America, and you’ve got a cocktail lineup that’s as bold and diverse as the season itself.
Here’s a taste of what’s new:
- Batida Rosa – Inspired by Brazil’s beloved summer drink, this refreshing twist features our house-made raspberry lime oleo and sweetened condensed cachaça for a citrusy, creamy delight.
- Caipirinha – The national cocktail of Brazil, made simply with muddled lime, sugar, and cachaça, delivering a punchy, zesty sip that’s perfect for spring.
- The Dodo – A modern take on a Negroni, this cocktail features strawberry-infused Campari, balancing its signature bitterness with the natural sweetness of ripe berries.
- Loco Lobos – A bittersweet, citrus-forward creation that combines two Italian amaro powerhouses—Cynar and Aperol—for an herbal, layered drinking experience.
- Paper Plane – A contemporary classic with an international flair, this cocktail blends bourbon with Italian Amaro Nonino, Aperol, and lemon for a perfectly balanced mix of tart, bitter, and sweet.
From Brazilian zest to Italian depth, our spring cocktails invite you to sip, savor, and celebrate the changing seasons in style.
