four seasons at somerset.
last year, i had an opportunity to collaborate with
@somerset.otr and
@secondstory.bar in cincinnati.
i’ve introduced the somerset bar experience with out-of-town co-workers, friends, and others, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed it. the team’s dedicated work is truly captivating, from the intricate details like the wall adorned with slide films to the indoor garden for garnish and in-house hand-dried flowers for drinks. while i typically refrain from drinking, i must admit that these beverages were truly delightful, complemented by the beauty of the space throughout all four seasons.
here are some personal favorites shots from both places in last year’s collection:
* Shodo Spritz (Second Story Bar, featuring a special touch with my dad’s untrained calligraphy)
* Grapefruit Agua Fresca
* Sakura Spritz
* Dragão Caipirinha
* Ziggy Stardust
* Saharan Sunrise
* Marina Sabina
* Athena’s Elixir
* Royal Garden Party
* Yuletide Punch
* Venez Espresso Martini
* Sonnets and Sage (Second Story Bar)
