Signature Drinks

The sancho leaf martini, where a szechuan leaf is used in place of a lemon twist or an olive; a gin n’ tonic served as a lowball instead of as a classic highball and garnished with perilla seed in lieu of a citrus wedge; and a riff on a Stone Fence with. white rum, perry, and a curry leaf.
