“We change our cocktail menu to match the seasons, sometimes more than once within a season. Whatever we can do ourselves, in house, we try to do. Whatever ingredients we can source locally, we try to get locally. We fresh squeeze lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit juice every day. We make a large selection of our own bitters. We infuse many different gins, rums, bourbon, and liqueurs. We even make our own limoncello, Curaçao, and, most recently, our own tonic syrup for gin and tonics.” Alex von Hardberger of The City Grocery in Oxford, Mississippi.
