These drinks are absolutely properly priced for the quality ingredients being used in them. Yes. If you want a 10 dollar bourbon drink from a 17 dollar bottle of bourbon, Atlantic was your jam. But if you want an $18 dollar drink made from a $50 High End Gin and a $35 vermouth then you have to find someone offering better quality. Maybe a French 75 made with quality Cognac and Grower Champagne is not your thing, but if it is then you finally have a place to find it and 18 bucks isn't that much.If you REALLY want to talk about how idiots make prices rise, talk about the idiot liquor control system in this state that makes all these bottles cost so much more for the bar selling them.
