Top 3 Cocktails

It's getting cold out, so of course it's only right that we take out Top Three series to talk about things that can warm us up! 

Naturally, the first thing that came to mind was cocktails. And while we're talented at throwing them back, we probably don't belong mixing drinks behind a bar... so we went the super exclusive Boys and Girl's Club at the Halcyon here in Denver. The result?


3. The House Martini Service

Right off their "Standards" menu, the Boys and Girl's Club's know how to serve up a Martini. Botanist Gin, House Vermouth Blend, Lemon Flake Sea Salt, Castelvetrano Olives, and a hint of Olive Oil make this Martini the right way to start off any night.


2. Vieux Carre

This French Quarter inspired drink is for Brandy lovers looking for something a little bit stronger to the taste. Old Overheat Rye, Hennessy VS Cognac, Bitters, Lemon Oil and a little more make this a fast way to "warm up." 



1. New Money

Of course we save the best for last. Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon, smoked vermouth, Nardini Amaro, and house bitters are all it takes to fall in love with this fabulous cocktail from our friends over at the Boys and Girl's club! Sweet with a beautiful scent we can't wait for the bartender to serve us up another round!

Normally we'd say if you're interested in learning more about the Boy's and Girl's club check out their website... but it's a very secret and very exclusive night club, so unless you plan on finding yourself there someday you can always make your own version of their drinks to tie you over!

The A-Team

AO Left, AH Right
Ah yes, The A-Team. A relic from the past. A show focused on a bunch of guys getting the job done. Not quite the good old days, this is the 80's we're talking about after all, but none the less a distinct memory that came in handy.

Andrea Hayes (pronounced ON-dria) and Andrea Olson (AN-dria) are the gears that make the Hospitality Division run smoothly and seamlessly here at the Strawberry. They are the lady bosses that get things done, or as we call them The A-Team of Customer Service. They handle every aspect of the PO’s, back-orders, product information, inventory, tracking, and customer service queries. 

You can't hit the road without a flood of the nicest compliments about the A-Team.  Our partners in the industry are dying to hire them, but what would we do without them? When you hear about how we have the best Customer Service in the industry, it's all due to these ladies!

Andrea H is coming up on her 5 year anniversary at 10 Strawberry Street. She loves shrimp and steak and her favorite pastimes are reading, going to church, and spending time with her two grown kids, Monae & Theo, and her 4 year old grandson, Caleb.

Andrea O also, coincidentally,  just celebrated her 5 year anniversary with the Strawberry team.  She puts down raw habanero and jalapeƱo peppers with ease for her lunch and in addition to being a wife and mommy to her 21 month old daughter, Audrey, she enjoys spending time in Wyoming with her family.

Want to know more? Give us a call! Chances are they'll be standing by anyway!

What's Hot?



10 Strawberry Street is synonymous with having an unparalleled assortment of large porcelain pieces without the oversized price tag. This collection is a bit like a Swiss Army Knife. Oslo is the perfect example of that. Some great pieces to pick from, all appropriate for just about any occasion and with the holidays coming up it's no wonder why these are flying off the shelf!
