Bad Harriet

Bad Harriet opens at Aspen’s Hotel Jerome | Eater Denver

"Tucked in the basement of the historic Aspen Times building, I learned Bad Harriet is a cheekily named subterranean bar and lounge tied to Hotel Jerome that offers craft cocktails and small plates; its name references Jerome B. Wheeler’s wife but gives her narrative a cheeky twist. Cocktails include the namesake Bad Harriet (Woody Creek single barrel rye, roasted pineapple, and pomegranate bitters), The Dame (Tequila Blanco, jalapeño consommé, citric, and honey), The Duke (mezcal, Cocchi vermouth di torino, Galliano, and Bookers bitters), and The Hemlock (Stranahan single malt whisky, homemade spiced ginger beer, and rhubarb bitters). Snacks range from deviled eggs and Rocky Mountain blinis with trout to elk sausage with cheddar and jalapeño and Dungeness crab tots, and desserts include Valrhona chocolate souffle, carrot cake madeleines, and churro ice cream sandwiches. The lounge is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 6 p.m. to close." - Susan Stapleton
