I decided this column should showcase what Barred Owl bartenders do best: individuality. Some of us approach our signature drinks based on what makes us happy, what we want to drink, what seems interesting or best fits the season. Each bartender came up with a cocktail they think screams “spring.”

Frances Fujiko Harvey is the bar manager at Barred Owl Butcher & Table.
