1972# — the year “Sweet Melissa” was released, a song that’s soft around the edges, full of feeling, and timeless in the way only the best stories are. That spirit is exactly what inspired this cocktail — created for a dear friend of the speakeasy and built with the same warmth and care. This drink is a balance of summer berry brightness and fall-like richness, designed to live comfortably in any season. Vodka lays the foundation, layered with ripe berries, fresh citrus, and a gentle touch of herbaceousness that rounds everything out. It’s smooth, expressive, and easy to fall into — a cocktail that doesn’t rush you, it stays with you. A little nostalgic. A little soulful. And always just right. 🎧 DJ at 9:30 PM 🍸 Crew on deck 🕔 Doors open at 5 📷 Riley Beth Calvert Get those group texts started!
