Step-by-step cocktail recipes from the Eats & Elixirs bar, covering everything from six-spirit party drinks like the Tokyo Tea to classics such as the Long Island Iced Tea. Each post breaks down exact pours, build order, and the small swaps that change a drink’s color, sweetness, or strength, plus notes on glassware, garnish, and homemade mixers versus store-bought shortcuts.
