"In early 2019, Ross Simon teamed up with Aaron DeFeo of Tucson to open a small, urbane cocktail lounge right down the street from B&T. Located on the fourth floor of a downtown Marriott, with views overlooking Chase Field and the distant Superstition Mountains, the place is a sleek, swanky draw for the cocktail aficionados who demand sophistication and get it here. Little Rituals swings for the fences with its mainstay cocktails, including a curry daiquiri with Sichuan pepper oil, Amari blends topped with salty foam, and a creamy fig-infused bourbon number, heady with Olorosso sherry, Nocino, and a whole egg." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
