• House Bloody Marys, often featuring local Colorado distilleries like Spring44 (past promotions have included complimentary ones with brunch purchases).

• Boozy milkshakes and spirited shakes, like the White Lightning (bourbon, caramel, sea salt) for a dessert-like treat that doubles as brunch fuel.

• Creative twists on classics: bubbly refreshers, gin-based sippers, or seasonal slushies that incorporate local spirits for bright, effervescent profiles.

• Fun, inventive options like infused mojitos, Kentucky Mules with Four Roses Bourbon, or playful margaritas that highlight Colorado's craft scene.

  
  

The bar team focuses on local products for spirits and beers, infusing cocktails with unique Rocky Mountain character—bold gins, smooth bourbons, and innovative vodkas from nearby distilleries.
