The Evolution of a Cocktail Legacy
The modern “Cocktail Renaissance” began over a decade ago when a few pioneers around the country re-ignited the bar scene by introducing drink programs that focus on quality, creativity, history, and by bringing hospitality back to the bar scene. Our founder, H. Joseph Ehrmann, is one of those pioneers. Over the past thirteen years he has built Elixir into a bar that many publications have called one of the “Best in America”. Elixir To Go is our way of bringing all of that passion, knowledge, quality, and service to your event. We look forward to working with you!
