Lovely gin, above-average vermouth, and neighbor's pickled vegetables.

As someone who enjoys brandy, I look forward to trying my first Wisconsin Old Fashioned one of these years.

Żubrówka martini, thanks to LOT Polish.

Thus far it the only vodka I find worth drinking. In fact, I quite enjoy it. It is delicious.

And yeah I had to copy/paste that name! The bartender taught me how to say it at least. "Zuh-brov-kah" 😁

Fall drink specials. I cut off a couple. The glare from overhead made photos challenging.

After reading the first few, I thought I was looking at a dessert menu!
