A little magic in a bottle is what some of Denver and Boulder's best bartenders are bottling up. The show of shaking, stirring, or tweezing garnishes on top of a fancy cocktail is not what these new drinks are about. Pre-batched and bottled cocktails are simply expertly mixed drinks ready to be popped and served tableside. They simplify the job of the bartenders during service and offer guests both consistency and novelty. Bottled cocktails can be carbonated in house but that is not a requirement.
