Now serving Aperol!
Thanks to Athens Distributing Company of Memphis, we now have Aperol! We are the only place in town that has it. For those of you that aren't familiar with it, it is an Italian aperitivo, that is light and floral and is typically mixed with prosecco or grapefruit juice and soda. We have been wanting it for years and Athens Distributing got it registered in Memphis so we could sell it! Thanks Athens!
