A Culinary Tour of Nashville The Patterson House On our second night, the Peachy team headed to The Patterson House, where you enter through a door covered with red velvet curtains into a Great Gatsby/speakeasy atmosphere. This is where the locals go for amazing hand-crafted cocktails. The Juliet & Romeo was one of our favorites. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and service was spot-on. We wanted a little something to eat after a long day of touring and ordered a couple of appetizers to go along with our cocktails. The doughnuts and grilled cheese were our two favorites.   THE PATTERSON HOUSE’S JULIET & ROMEO 2 ounces Beefeater Gin ¾ ounce fresh lime juice ¾ ounce simple syrup 3 drops Angostura bitters 3 drops of rose water  3 slices cucumber muddled, sprinkled with 5 grains salt Fresh mint Lightly muddle three sprigs of mint on top of muddled cucumber. Build the cocktail. Shake the cocktail. Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass. Garnish with a mint leaf—add one drop of rose water on top of mint leaf! 56 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM
