A Dallas Bar Saint Valentine, Classics Cocktails Done Well Are What Matters - Eater Dallas
"There are several matters of taste that Saint Valentine owners Gabe Sanchez and Ryan Payne disagree on. The menu is intentionally easy to read and full of recognizable cocktails, but the depth of craft and quality of these drinks is obvious on first sip. Payne has done the same and is the former owner of Tiny Victories; he sold his ownership stake back to the This & That group to launch Saint Valentine. Sanchez says as long as you're not a 'fucking asshole', you will find your place here. Payne: From the Churched Up Beer [section of the menu], it’s a shot of tequila, a Modela, and sangrita verde. Sanchez: At any cocktail bar, the first thing I order is a Sazerac. We decided to wash the brandy with duck fat to get a mouthfeel you're not expecting." - Courtney E. Smith
