‘Tis the season! The Commoner, which is located on the first floor of The Hotel Monaco downtown, has something special to make the holidays go down a little smoother.
On December 1, the bar will be launching their How The Grinch Stole Christmas cocktail menu, which will run through the holidays.
The menu includes five themed drinks, and features ingredients like charred grapefruit vodka, malted hot chocolate, boozy marshmallows, and vanilla-cardamom reduction. Lead bartender Alex Dando shared a few notes with us about each drink, and how the menu came together.
