Cocktail of the Week from Ember Bartender Mauricio Gonzalez

Next time you are in town, bartender Mauricio Gonzalez recommends trying the Peat Like Bourbon:

"We recommend this cocktail to start or finish the evening with as it has the perfect balance of bourbon and peated Scotch,” Mauricio explains.

"We wanted this cocktail to not only excite our guests but also be versatile and drinkable at any point in the evening.”

Ember garnishes the cocktail with smoke-infused rosemary and orange peel to elevate the drinking experience and ignite all the senses!

As for the cocktail’s name:

"We wanted to create a name playing on words, while incorporating both styles of liquor – Peat Likes Bourbon landed well among the team,” says Mauricio.
