Pocket Spice

Our proprietary seasoning blend, added to specific cocktails for body, finish, and the "fourth dimension" most guests can't identify but can taste.

What it does

Pocket Spice binds the flavors of a cocktail into one cohesive product. A margarita with Pocket Spice tastes like a margarita. The same margarita without it tastes like tequila, agave, and lime in sequence.

It adds savoriness and body without changing the obvious flavor profile. Two drinks side by side: the Pocket Spice version wins every time, and guests can't tell you why.

Where it goes

Specific cocktails on the menu — see the cocktail-by-cocktail specs. Never broadcast which drinks contain Pocket Spice. Never describe it as MSG or salt to a guest.

Where it doesn't go

Anything classic without our riff. A Negroni is a Negroni. A Manhattan is a Manhattan. Pocket Spice is the house signature, not a universal additive.

The formula

If you're spec'd to make a drink that calls for Pocket Spice, the lead bartender prepares it and stocks the dropper bottles for the well.
