Jan 30, 2015 >> Star Crossed Spirits at Headquarters Beercade
Headquarters Beercade knows a thing or two about creating the perfect pair—home of the delightful hybrid of an arcade + a bar = beercade! And since it’s Valentine’s Day, we’re all imbibing with a little romance. We enlisted the help of head mixologist at HQ, Tim Williams, to shake us up a pair of cocktails suitable for modern day lovers. And what’s so special about these delectable drinks? Like any romantic chemistry, there are plenty of ways to mix a similar drink. So Tim took the same ingredients, changed the liquor base then created two like-minded cocktails that are perfect pairs of each other.
