18 // COASTWEEKEND.COM COLUMBIA BAR The Alder By RYAN HUME FOR COAST WEEKEND I recently stopped by Charlie’s Chop House, the new venture be- tween Charlie Holboke and chef Chris Dunn, to see what they were tossing together behind the bar. Located next to two of Holboke’s other busi- nesses, the Tiki Bar and Charlie’s Chowder House, one gets the sense that this block of Marine Drive will soon be known as Holbo- ke’s Row. This new incarnation of an old-school steak- Th e Illahee Apartments house features blood-red walls accented with black trim, and the dark color combination helps provide a speakeasy-like vibe. The old wooden bar from Hazel’s has been saved and adorned with enough shelves to house plenty of local and top-tier spirits. Running the bar that day was Alison Mück, who has followed Dunn from the Merry Time Bar and Grill to the Chop House. Mück is responsible for devel- oping (or updating) many of the signature cocktails on the Chop House’s list, which are all named after different types of trees. The cocktail list focuses on laid-back, old-school cool, utilizing fresh-squeezed juice whenever possible. Mück tries to steer clear of syrups.

The Alder is a gin- based cocktail perfect for a summer afternoon or evening. With the tartness of the grape- fruit juice it shares some of the same DNA as a Salty Dog, but is much more floral forward with the gin base and the addition of St.-Germain, an elder- flower liqueur. Follow- ing Mück’s lead, might as well stock up on Vi- tamin C while spending a night on the town.
