Hotel St. Michael recently opened Fire & Sword, bringing a unique blend of historic charm and modern flair to Whiskey Row in Prescott, Arizona. Fire & Sword was named to honor the town’s storied past and is a living tribute to the resilience of what occurred on site. It was here where Prescott’s “only fireproof hotel” famously burned in 1900.

It features specialty drinks such as the Royal Flush Martini with Wheatley Vodka, X-Rated passionfruit liqueur, cranberry, pomegranate and lime; Aces High with Chambord, Bulleit 95 Rye, sweet and sour, egg white, and bitters; and The Honest Opinion, made with Markers 6 French Oak Bourbon, Ancho Reyes chili liqueur, jalapeno and blueberry syrup.
