Honored to be featured in another article!

El Poncho was inspired by the comfort of a chicken enchilada. Layered, savory, and deeply satisfying with bone broth bringing “a depth of flavor, texture and umami” to the glass.

Though this cocktail isn’t available at the moment, look for the return of El Poncho in mid-March.

Meet Lily, our newest bartender, and her first cocktail on the menu, Vert Glacé!

What inspired this cocktail?
“Inspiration came from the viral Dubai chocolate — a rich cocoa, creamy pistachio, and delicate phyllo — paired with my love for green chartreuse. I wanted to explore how those flavors could come together in a rich winter cocktail, offering a new take on a trending profile while staying true to classic cocktail balance.”

Why the name?
“The name Vert Glacé means “Iced Green” in French. It’s inspired by the classic cocktail Vert Chaud, or “Hot Green,” which is essentially chartreuse hot chocolate. Since this cocktail is a cold, clarified version of that classic, Vert Glacé felt like the perfect fit.”

Where did your cocktail journey begin and how has Bar Virgile shaped your knowledge?
“I started bartending in Boston about six years ago. From country clubs to taco joints to James Beard recognized bars, every place shaped my approach. Being at Bar Virgile has pushed me to deepen my knowledge of classic cocktails, connect more with the Durham community, and learn from incredible coworkers and regulars alike.”
