“ELIZA – THE BUILDER”
A Southern Iced Tea
Voli vodka, earl grey tea, floral syrup, lemon, mint
A comforting yet resilient blend of tea, citrus, and soft floral notes: grounded, enduring, and quietly powerful. Inspired by the woman who preserved a legacy and rebuilt a future from grief.
“PEGGY – THE UNDERRATED FORCE”

Beet, ginger, turmeric, lime, tequila, dash of salt, edible gold shimmer
Earthy beet and bright citrus meet ginger heat and a flash of gold. Unexpected, bold, and far more memorable than history gave her credit for.

The Wine Feed

Raise a glass to revolution with the Founding Fathers Flight: a trio of wines inspired by the bottles that would have filled taverns, dining rooms, and diplomatic tables during the birth of a nation. Sip through the world that shaped America’s founders over dinner–just a few minutes walk from the theater.
Your journey begins in Burgundy with a classic French Chardonnay, elegant and refined, reminiscent of the white wines favored by America’s early diplomats abroad. From there, travel to Bordeaux for a red blend worthy of spirited debates and candlelit gatherings in colonial taverns. Finally, finish with a 10-Year Madeira from Portugal: the legendary fortified wine poured during celebrations of independence and said to have toasted the signing of the Declaration itself.
Bold ideas. Historic pours. A little rebellion in every glass.
