| - This is an intimate destination. With 2012 approaching I can see a roaring twenties speakeasy party with swing music, bootleg liquor, gambling, gangsters and girls.
On the floor this evening an industrious young man by the name of Richie Moe, master and student mixologist of cocktail chemistry, dedicated equally to presentation as he is about taste.
The woman selling the liquor, Tara who gladly customized my personal cocktail. A beautiful gin made in a double boiler from 100-proof vodka distilled then marinade over dried juniper berries, lemon rinds, cardamom and aromatic spices, turning it to an amber color.
The alcohol has an aroma of sweet caramel. The mouthfeel is really nice, very warm rich and boozy. Tara pours my gin over ice and then a splash of tonic water. Yes this sweetheart can cook.
This bar is unlike any bar in Phoenix. And Moe, do not forget the chocolate cigars and candy cigarettes.
