Featured Cocktail

Market Bar Queen’s Share Old Fashioned

A refined take on a classic, built around Echo Spirits’ Queen’s Share Rum. Rich and expressive, the rum brings notes of caramel, toasted oak, and subtle spice, balanced with bitters and a touch of sweetness for a smooth, rounded finish. It’s a familiar format with a deeper, more nuanced profile—best enjoyed slowly, just like the story behind it.

2 oz Echo Spirits Queen’s Share Rum

.5 oz demerara syrup

1 dash Angostura aromatic bitters

1 dash Tiki Bitters

Stir, and garnish with an orange swath
