EDITION 01 · SIX CONSIDERED POURS

The Hotel Bar

Six considered orders. No room key required.

An imaginary hotel, an excellent chair, and absolutely nowhere else to be. Begin with a bright aperitivo, settle into a precise stirred pour, or take the evening in a gentler direction. These are individual choices, not a six-drink itinerary.
