"If there's two things we love, it's cocktails and furry friends. We are introducing a very special holiday cocktail menu in partnership with the Idaho Humane Society! 
When you buy a cocktail off of our special menu through December, one dollar from each drink will be donated to the Idaho Humane Society. We will also be accepting donations of cat food to give to our itty bitty kitty friends! We will be posting the cocktail menu as soon as it's ready and hope to see everyone there!"
