The Ciudad Vieja, Spur Gastropub’s take on a Seattle original, packs an immense amount of flavor and complexity into one $14 package. The interplay of Laird’s Applejack and aged rum is inspired, and the dry Curacao adds a citrus zing. Sure, the cost is steep, but you’re getting high-quality spirits and a wonderfully layered cocktail.
