Orchid Key Inn

The Orchid Key Inn on Duval Street at Truman Avenue is justifiably proud of their art deco bar and it's art deco bar stools. For some reason I failed to get their stools in my picture when Chuck took me by to show me their renovated hotel and rather fancy bar so I used their picture because the stools are lovely. I took Chuck's picture instead, and he's lovely too, of course.The bar includes a massive array of drinks including some liquor that Chuck says is unique to this place in Key West. I forget what it is so no doubt we shall have to return and try it when Chuck gets back into town. I shall endeavor not to make a fool of myself with it. Quite aside from the liquor license this place is quite charming, on Duval next to Truman. It's hard to miss if you pass it with your eyes at all open.We took a short self guided tour which consisted mostly of crossing the parking lot, startling a house keeper by peeking into an open door and studying the nicely appointed art deco rooms... ... and the swimming pool is quite nice looking too. We did the bar aforementioned......and checked out the decorations.
...and we thought to ourselves this might very well be a place where out of town guests might like to sleep close to Duval. Actually right on Duval. Not bad.

St. Germain.

Elder flower - distilled.

Used sparingly, it opens up a drink, making it quire springlike.

Ever the mixologist,
