100 Cocktails to Try Before You Die

I came across Anvil’s 100 List, a list of 100 cocktails you should try once in your life.  It’s by Bobby Heugel and Justin Burrows, master mixologists at Anvil Bar & Refuge in Houston.  Just from the excellent design of their website and this wonderfully anachronistic and multivariate list, this bar is on my list! #96, the Vieux Carre, caught my eye.

Which cocktail below would you most like to try?

Check this out- Anvil is upcycled! From their About section:

“Anvil is located in a Bridgestone-Firestone tire store built in the late 1950’s. Designed and remodeled by the partners, the finished space reflects the same respect for history, elegant simplicity, and raw ingredients as the cocktails that are served there. The building was completely gutted, revealing original brick walls, high ceilings and industrial ductwork, all of which remain untouched. Reclaimed materials and locally salvaged artifacts were discovered at antique stores and thrift shops and then retooled to craft the bar, shelving and tables. The result is a modern industrial design softened by the rich, recycled natural materials that furnish Anvil. Even the glassware is vintage, reminiscent of grandmother’s fancy glasses, all unearthed at small local stores.”
