With the cool autumn weather approaching in a few weeks, it’s no surprise Tough Luck Club launched a fall menu this week.
The pop culture references, sense of humor, and fearless combinations of flavors haven’t gone anywhere.
The Tomacco, inspired by an iconic 1999 episode of the Simpsons, features green chile vodka, bitter artichoke liqueur, roasted cherry tomato syrup, and tobacco tincture.
Unbelievable Sights, Indescribable Feelings takes you to a whole new world with jasmine pisco, creme de cassis, French herbal liqueur, and lime juice.
The Netfigs & Chill features fig pisco, lemon, dill syrup, and Lambrusco secco.
$6 shots make a comeback, though the combinations are different.
The mojito shot features white rum, lime juice, and mint syrup, so you don’t have to feel guilty about making a bartender muddle mint when it’s busy.
Lastly, TLC has a private barrel of cask-strength Whiskey Del Bac Dorado, bottled for them exclusively by Hamilton Distillers. Have some in a cocktail or on the rocks for $12.
Tough Luck Club opens daily at 5 p.m. For more information, visit reillypizza.com.
