Located in a former mid-century tire store, Anvil Bar and Refuge earns the respect from bartenders all over the country for their inventive cocktails.


This drink is on their spring seasonal menu and it’s inspired by soda chanh muối, a Vietnamese salted limeade. It’s sweet, salty and light, with a hint of bitterness. The Velho Barreiro is one of the most appreciated Cachaças and brings the flavors of Brazil to Houston.

Velho Barreiro Cachaça

Unlike most Cachaças on the market, Velho Barreiro is barrel aged for a short period, which adds depth and flavor.


 

Salted / Preserved Limes

Make your own with limes, lime juice and salt -- try this recipe, substituting limes for lemons. Or purchase pre-preserved limes. Most preserved limes are made with additional spices, in particular Moroccan spices.


 

Turbinado Sugar

A raw, natural brown sugar that is crystallized from the initial pressing of sugar cane. It’s called turbinado because the sugar is made by spinning the crystallized syrup in turbine-like centrifuges.
