  • Demerara Sugar

    A minimally processed sugar and a favorite in many cocktails because of its natural characteristics of toffee, molasses and caramel.  Usually made into a syrup for quick cohesion with the other cocktail ingredients, but used granulated form often around a glass rim or inside the cocktail for texture and gradual incorporation of sweetness. 

  • Salt/Saline

    Salt/Saline is a great flavor booster.  It can balance sweetness and bitterness, smoothing out a cocktail.  It can also enhance citrus flavor and acidity without the need for more acid. 

    A pinch of salt can be added to the cocktail, but for consistency, saline is easy to make and allows more control.

  • Peychaud's Bitters

    70 proof/ 35% ABV 

    Buffalo Trace Distillery 

    Originally sold as an apertivo in French New Orleans, Peychaud's is a gentian-based bitter which is characteristic of strong anise or fennel flavors.  Additional botanicals contribute to it's light mint flavors.  Peychaud's adds a nice red color while freshening a cocktail with just a few dashes.

  • Orange Peel

    An orange spritz and twist can add a quick bit of brightness and bold citrus and floral flavor to a cocktail.  When roasted or charred, it can add an oaky, slightly bitter aroma and flavor.

The Doors

Oliver Stone's The Doors crashes onto the screen like a marathon encore, tracing the meteoric rise of Jim Morrison and the band that helped redefine the sound and swagger of late-1960s rock. The film follows Morrison from his days as a restless film student to his transformation into a counterculture icon, blending concert performances with hallucinatory visions that blur the line between myth and reality. Val Kilmer's fearless performance captures both the magnetic charisma and the self-destructive impulses that turned Morrison into one of rock's most enduring legends. Along the way, the movie explores the creative chemistry and growing tensions within the band as fame, excess, and artistic ambition pull them in different directions. Like the music that inspired it, The Doors is loud, unpredictable, and unapologetically committed to the idea that rock and roll can be both a performance and a form of rebellion.
