Punch!

Tonight’s punch is a slightly modified classic, The Crimean Cup a la Marmora: 2 different Jamaican rums, brandy, maraschino, housemade orgeat, lemon, Bittermen’s Tiki Bitters, and Cava!  It’s delicious!  Also, Joe Wray will be celebrating his 2 year anniversary of playing at the Hi Hat by moving over to the Garage and inviting some guests up on stage with him.  Sure to be a good time!
