Strong and delicate, elevated, and feisty–Bar Calico’s spirit-forward program concentrates on refreshing yet ‘arid’ drinks that invoke the unapologetic flavors and tones of the American Southwest.

This full-bodied, egg white cocktail has a floral rose flavor that sits between a citrusy grapefruit kick and a bitter aftertaste from the Aperol. For Head Bartender, Mike Campbell, the Runaway Train is a combination of revitalizing citrus and the floral essence of rose, where the drink’s sweetness comes from the balance of the flavors.
