We kicked things off with espresso martinis, which packed a serious punch (in the best way). From there, we explored cocktails featuring their moonshine and darker spiritsâeach one expertly crafted and full of rich, bold flavors.
If youâre looking for a unique, atmospheric spot for cocktails in Brooklyn, this place is a must-visit. Canât wait...
