Palmetto Spritz: Your Island Escape in a Glass

A refreshing twist on the classic spritz, this vibrant cocktail combines the rich, berry-forward flavor of Chambord with zesty, bright fresh-squeezed lime juice. Topped with crisp, bubbly Maschio Prosecco and a touch of simple syrup for balanced sweetness, it’s served over ice for ultimate refreshment. Garnished with a fresh mint sprig, each sip delivers a sparkling, fruity, and invigorating experience perfect for warm afternoons or elegant evening gatherings.

Seasonal Spice: Alexander’s Spicy Margarita

A Timeless Pour: Alexander’s 1800 Old Fashioned

The Alexander’s 1800 Old Fashioned is a timeless cocktail built on whiskey, sugar, and bitters, offering a perfect balance of simplicity and depth. But what truly elevates the modern Old Fashioned is the house-made spherical ice cube. The spherical ice cube isn’t just visually striking—it melts slowly and evenly, chilling the drink without diluting its character. Finished with a twist of citrus, it’s a refined, unhurried sip that celebrates classic craftsmanship.

Ingredients & Instructions

• 2 dashes of Angostura aromatic bitters

• 3 dashes Angostura orange bitters
