Pepper Revelle’s trip to New Orleans inspires her to add a French Quarter-style courtyard to Nola, her bar in Bohemia. But the dig in the backyard reveals what might be a tiny historic treasure with a cocktail connection. With the help of Astra the dog, Pepper and her Bohemia Bartenders colleague Neil set out to learn the secret behind the discovery and realize it offers a surprising connection between the two mixologists.
“Baffled by Bitters” is a fun, 5,300-word short story set in the world of the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries. (Timewise, it’s set after "Risky Whiskey" and before "Wrecked by Rum," but there are no spoilers!)
