The restaurant's new craft cocktail menu consists of favorites like 'The Emerald Lake,' -- a cocktail promoted for its anti-inflammatory properties. The drink is infused with fresh water-sourced micro-algae, maple, and lime. Other notables include 'The Root Sour,' a remixed take on the classic cocktail which features cold-pressed yams, and turmeric, along with 'The Chaga Sour,' a whiskey blend that is enhanced with the medicinal mushroom, which acts as a powerful digestive aid.
