This past weekend we essentially worked the drinks like little kits, with the spirit concoction portion in a sealable plastic flask and the mixer in a cup. While this worked, we were not overly excited about the look and feel of a cocktail experience. So, this week we will begin down a different path.
First up, we will offer cocktails in sanitized and sealed mason jars. When you purchase the first cocktail their will be a small ‘glass’ deposit of $1 added to your bill. This will simply cover the cost of the Mason Jar and it will be yours to keep. However, from then on, if you return the Mason Jar for your next drink, we will take it back, sanitize it, and provide you a drink in a fresh Mason jar with no deposit fee attached. In the end this should work just like the bottle deposits that we are all used to.
Additionally, we will be selling Yeti 10oz tumblers with the closing lid. You can purchase the Yeti from us, at our cost, and we will sanitize it, make you a cocktail, seal it up, and off you go. Bring the Yeti back each time you want a cocktail, and we will repeat the process.
We ask that you only bring back in the Yeti’s and Mason Jars (you keep the lids) that you purchased from us because we will need to seal them up and our sealer will only work on a specific size jar. We will try this out and see how it goes. Again, these are uncharted territories for all of us, and we appreciate your patience as we work through the process.
One big advantage to the Yeti tumbler is that Glenn will be able to use his Square Ice cubes for cocktails that require one, and for those that don’t, the Yeti will keep your drink cold until you get home to drink it :-) We use our 10oz tumblers in warm climates for cocktails and they are amazing.
If we feel that this is being well received, we could add the larger tumbler size for larger cocktails like the Bloody Mary’s (hint, this coming weekend we are taking the Bloody to a super size/complete breakfast meal experience)…. Details on that will be out Wednesday.
Yeti 10oz Tumbler plus magnetic lid will be $25. We hope to get bulk pricing on them which will lower this a bit, but this is what you pay in the store or at Amazon.
Don’t forget, if you have not already signed up for the newsletter, be sure and check it out. Newsletter recipients not only get special discounts, but they learn about the weekly menu before anyone else.
