Lucile Cocktail

Our special beverage feature to celebrate all moms! Head Bartender Nick Meyer discusses his inspiration for this refreshing cocktail:

“Lucile was named after my Grandmother; she always had a huge rhubarb garden when I was growing up so it was a summer staple in my house. The pisco is a perfect base with its subtle floral notes and candied citrus. Matched with fragrant lemongrass tea, homemade rhubarb syrup, and lavender bitters, this cocktail is light, fresh, and floral.”

Available during dinner only.
