To all our followers and future customers…

We apologize for any confusion you had walking up to our front door only to be greeted by us working hard to get construction finished so we can greet you properly. Our map pin went live saying we are open and several of you came by hoping to see what we are all about. We appreciate your enthusiasm and patience

Soon. We promise. Just a few more weeks.

It’s almost time for the first race of the Triple Crown- the Kentucky Derby.

No Derby party is complete without the signature drink - the Mint Julep

What you need:
A sprig or two of fresh mint
1/2 oz of simple syrup
2 oz of your favorite bourbon but honestly any favorite whiskey can work.
Crushed ice
8oz tumbler glass or a silver julep cup

What you do:
Add simple syrup to your glass.
Add 6-8 mint leaves and muddle them with a spoon or muddler to release the essence
Fill the glass with crushed ice
Pour in your choice of whiskey or bourbon
Stir and serve

This is a southern beverage. And like all things southern, they like it sweet. So if you like it sweet , add more simple. If you like things a little more dry, pick a good Rye.

Serving a group and want to make up a batch ….

Mint infused simple :
1c water + 1c sugar + 4 sprigs of mint
Heat in a sauce pan to a low simmer , remove from heat, remove mint, and cool back to room temperature . (Yields about 8-12 servings )

Make sure you save some fresh mint for garnish on top .

Enjoy !

We know things have been quiet here on this page but behind the scenes we are working hard.

We are working through the permitting process and are jumping each hurdle as we get to them.

It’s essential for a reason – raise a glass to an iconic cocktail in celebration of National Gin & Tonic Day!
Our Essential Tonic Mixer combines pure Florida cane sugar with citrus and quinine, the extract of the cinchona tree that gives tonic water its bitter taste.
