The Empty Chair
Open-pour communal gin bowl with cucumber, herbs & an empty glass waiting
Always leave an empty chair — every conversation should be open for someone new
Why this cocktail? Tahira always leaves an empty chair. This communal gin bowl comes with one extra glass — an invitation.
The Story
Tahira's rule: always leave an empty chair. Every conversation should be open enough for someone new to join. This communal gin bowl is served with one extra empty glass — an invitation, not an oversight. Cucumber and herbs float freely because the best connections are unplanned.
