There's an ice-house here called Beavers that had one of the most amazing bartenders I've had the pleasure of ordering a drink from. You'd just give a vague idea of what sort of drink you'd want, and he'd come back with something utterly amazing. He infused most of the booze himself, made his own marichino cherries, made his own bitters, and otherwise did everything the hard way. He left a month or so ago to open his own bar, and it should be a pretty amazing place. It's goal is to banish forever the apple martini in Houston. It opens
sometime this month.
This is the cocktail menu at Beavers, but it's just sort of a launching off pad.
