Chappy Hour: The Bruléed Gimlet + Lady Crawford
In her second collection of poetry, Lady Crawford (Palimpsest Press), Julie Cameron Gray discusses women in high-society marriages, and the heartbreaking ramifications of a life spent in parties. Our mixologist Tan mixes the “burn” of marital loneliness with a bruléed citrus gin drink, and pairs it with “The Legend of Zelda,” a poem mixing the woes of Zelda Fitzgerald with probably the best video game of all time (and we will fight you on this).
