Monch’s chorus appropriates the controversial Florida statute, “Justifiable Use of Force,” 776.013, that justifies violent action in self-defense. Here the phrase “stand your ground” is used as a call for action against such legislation, to “stand” for a higher understanding of what is just.

Nicholas Bennett is the bar captain at Dave Arnold’s Booker and Dax.
The Solitaire is the result of a long attempt to essentially un-shake the daiquiri and, while the outcome was pretty far from the mark, the resulting drink has been a delightfully well-balanced cocktail.
In addition to the clarified lime, which unexpectedly adds a soft and gentle quality, Strega was added to give the drink an herbaceous quality reminiscent of Caribbean flavors (mint, saffron, etc.…). The rum remains as, partially as a reminder of how this cocktail was conceived, and to add a dry quality and a tropical backbone to the drink.
The Barrel Aged Bols Genever was added to give it a malty and woody flavor that would make it unique and really round out the cocktail.
The drink was named after Solitaire, the beautiful Bond Girl in “Live and Let Die,” played by Jane Seymour. The character was a witch and psychic from a fictional Caribbean Island under the employ of Mr. Big.
