Destination: Cocktail
Oldfield’s Liquor Room is the newest offering from Bobby Green’s 1933 Group, which also owns popular watering holes Bigfoot Lodge and Thirsty Crow. The place is named for Barney Oldfield, a pioneering early 20th century race-car driver, and it specializes in classic cocktails with seasonal ingredients. One such revival is the Delicious Sour. The cocktail was a favorite in the 1800s, and bartender Rich Ohtsuka has come up with a tasty re-imagining featuring apple and peach brandies, fresh-squeezed lime juice and a frothy egg white.
