Sam’s know what it takes to make a great recipe. A recipe that lasts the test of time and keeps you coming back for more. A recipe so simple it even makes us blush when we tell people…
Begin with a healthy measure of fabulously Funkadelic vintage chic.
A twist of retro cool.
A cheeky splash of moody lighting.
A hint of bartender charm.
A dash boozy behavior.
A teaspoon of the tantalizing and exotic.
An ounce of blissed out beats.
A delicate sprinkling of bubbly giggles.
Shake it all together and present it in a swanky upstairs city champagne bar.
Finished lovingly with the sublime and ubiquitous Samstyle…
Sometimes, just sometimes – it’s fun to wait!
