Remember snack time as a kid? We've taken that nostalgia to new heights with our new cocktail: Ants On A Log.

Featuring peanut rum for that creamy, nutty goodness, infused celery vermouth for a touch of sweetness and acidity, and a side sip of raisin-infused Madeira for that classic finish. And yes, we even added a little something special—culinary ants from Rare Tea Cellars for a playful crunch 🐜

Enjoy in The Bamboo Room, reservations available here: https://bit.ly/45mhTOB
