A Is For Ace

For all our ace siblings who look for representation, bet you weren't planning to find it in this sweet-and-sour concoction of gin, raspberry liqueur, and club soda.


Pronouns Aren't Optional

Take a moment to enjoy this lemon vodka drink boosted with ginger ale--but take a lifetime of addressing our kin in the ways that they ask and prefer.


We're All Born Naked

Rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and cherry bitters come together in a flavor profile that's strong and unique. Just like you. Yes, you!

Ishgard Sky Strikers Menu

Cocktails inspired by the Ishgard Sky Strikers of the Etheirys Blitzball League!










BLITZOFF!!!

A Lede favorite returns in blue! These ocean-hued gelatin shots pack quite a punch, as they contain vodka, blue curacao, and white rum. Knock one of these back every time you’re cued to yell BLITZOFF!


From the Skies!

Enjoy a Sky Strikers-inspired spin on the classic margarita! Blue curacao gives this drink its vivid color, matched with tequila and lime juice. Ask for it over dry ice for a smoky effect!


A Knight's Honor
