The cocktails at The Moniker in Downtown St. Louis are as stylish as the restaurant and bar itself. Located on Washington Avenue, The Moniker drips with rich emerald and gold design and décor and serves a menu of handcrafted cocktails and shareable small plates. Signature cocktails include the Jalisco Manhattan, made with Libélula Joven Tequila in place of whiskey, a house vermouth blend, and a dash of plum bitters, and the Tea Time, with James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbon, scratch-made chai simple syrup, and bitters. Pair the drink of your choice with small plates such as Cajun crab rangoon, salmon croquettes, or chicken ribs, while enjoying live music or tunes from a local DJ.
