Now pouring - Good & Green 🍸✨

Made with Apologue Celery Root, Dani’s Tavern Rum, lime juice, and green tea.

Equal parts refreshing, herbaceous, and intriguing, with hints of tropical funk, the good kind, shoutout , and an earthy backbone. 🌿🍋

Fruity, floral, and jammy. 🍒🌸

Apologue Aronia is crafted with fresh-pressed, locally grown aronia berries, tart cherry, raspberry, lavender, and rose hip, finished with a hint of baking spice and citrus zest.

This spring and summer-coded sipper is surprisingly versatile, endlessly spritzable, and adds a certain je ne sais quoi to reimagined classics like Diablos, Cobblers, and Cosmos. ✨🍹

Saffron is one of the most precious spices in the world - prized for centuries for its fragrant, sweet, and floral character ✨🌸

It’s also one of the most expensive 💛.

Each autumn, the saffron crocus produces just three delicate stigmas per flower, all of which must be carefully harvested and cleaned by hand 🌼✋

A true labor of love - it takes nearly 80,000 flowers to produce a single pound of saffron threads 🤯!

Historically reserved for the kitchen, saffron has long lent its signature touch to dishes like Paella, Risotto, and Tagine 🍽️

Now, with Apologue’s Saffron Liqueur, the Queen of Spices steps behind the bar 👑🍸

It’s been incredible watching creative bartenders across the country explore this unique profile - and even better tasting what they come up with.

Just like Mother Nature intended 🌼

We cordially invite you to believe in better.
Taste and see the difference 👀✨

Had a real RAD time last week. Food was fire (Snap Peas FTW) and the bar program is just as sharp. This one caught the eye and did not disappoint:

🌿NOTHING IS REAL🌿

Gin, Aquavit, Dill, Strawberry, Apologue Celery Root, Lemon.

We’ve had (and made) many a Celery Root cocktail over the years and this might be the first one we’ve seen that paired our liqueur with Strawberry. A very cool flavor combo and a delicious cocktail 🏆!
