NEW COCKTAIL ALERT 🥃

Cherry Coke just got a Labor Day worthy upgrade.

Introducing Cowan's Cherry Cola:
Baller American Single Malt, cherry liqueur, Borghetti, espresso, house cola syrup — popped table side and poured over ice with a cherry on top.

Tastes like the soda you remember. Hits like an espresso martini.

Hot day, long weekend, cold bottle. We're open all holiday weekend long!
