liqueur popular in nineteenth century France where it was believed
to increase creativity. Although absinthe, which is illegal in the
states, isn’t offered at the bar, guests can choose from an array of
drinks concocted with house-made mixes and fruit purees, such as the
raspberry martini laced with chile.

sommelier Adrian Najara, consisting of fifteen Asian-inspired
creations, featuring infused sakes and vodkas.
