Pharoah's Gold

It's been over two years since I've dined at Spruce. I forgot how stunning the restaurant is when you walk in. When you check-in with the maitre'd straight through the double doors you have the bar area with the liquor bottle display in the large frame to the right, the dining area with the lush velvet couches along the dark wall to your left, and the high ceilings with the skylight. I ended my delicious lunch of heirloom tomata burrata salad and a yellowtail nicoise salad with the Pharoah's Gold. I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of days and this cocktail with brandy, canton ginger, chamomile, honey, lemon, and cinnamon-cardamom tincture seemed like a possible cure. What's a tincture? Per Merriam-Webster, a solution of a medicinal substance in an alcoholic solvent". This iced chamomile tea cocktail is just what the doctor ordered.
