At The Roosevelt Room, it’s the people who make the experience—and this month’s spotlight is on Jessica Barragato.
⁠
Originally from Rochester, New York, and raised in Houston, Jessica came to Austin to attend Concordia University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Public Health. Before joining the hospitality industry, she worked in ABA therapy and later with Austin ISD, supporting students in the public school system.⁠
⁠
Jessica joined The Roosevelt Room team in October 2025 and has supported the space in several roles, including hostess, floor support, and maintenance, helping keep things running smoothly for both guests and staff.⁠
⁠
Outside of work, she enjoys paddleboarding, rollerblading, traveling with family, and spending time with her daughter. She also has a hidden talent; she’s been singing since childhood, though she usually keeps it reserved for close friends and family.⁠
⁠
Next time you visit, be sure to say hello. ⁠
⁠
Cheers to Jessica!

This Memorial Day, we raise a glass with intention.⁠
⁠
Long before the modern cocktail renaissance, there was the Julep—one of America’s earliest expressions of hospitality. As far back as 1784, the Brandy Julep was already being enjoyed on this side of the Atlantic: simple, refreshing, and quietly refined. Our version stays true to those early origins, blending 1840, Hamilton Pot Still Rum, Mint, Demerara Syrup, and Seasonal Berries for a bright, aromatic take on a true American classic. A drink built not to impress, but to gather, to slow down, and to share.⁠
⁠
Today, that spirit feels especially important.⁠
⁠
Memorial Day isn’t just the unofficial start of summer—it’s a moment to pause and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. Their sacrifice is woven into the fabric of everything we’re able to enjoy, including the simple act of sitting together over a well-made drink.⁠
⁠
So tonight, whether you join us or raise a glass at home, we invite you to do so with a bit more presence. A bit more gratitude. A bit more awareness of the history, both in the glass and far beyond it.⁠
⁠
The Brandy Julep is a piece of that story. And so are they.⁠
⁠
Cheers to those we remember. Cheers to you!⁠

Light, floral, and iconic—the Aviation has been setting the tone since 1911. Created by Hugo Ensslin at the Wallick Hotel in New York and first published in his 1916 book Recipes for Mixed Drinks, this cocktail is a study in balance and restraint, built long before “classic” was a category of its own.

Our version brings together , Torontel, Maraschino Liqueur, fresh Lemon juice, and Crème de Violette for that signature pale sky hue and a finish that’s as elegant as it is distinctive.

Stop by and try a sip of cocktail history. Cheers to you!

One of our newest seasonal featured indulgences, the Washed Up created by our Head Bartender, Armando Garza (), is a clarified, freezer martini-style take on the classic Piña Colada that feels right at home as the weather warms.

Playing on the literal translation of piña colada - meaning strained pineapple - the cocktail fully embraces the concept via a coconut milk wash that is used to clarify and soften the structure, turning pineapple and lime into something smoother and more lifted, while layered vermouths and subtle rum accents provide depth and balance. It's coconut milk-washed and served "up" like a martini, hence the name.... get it?!

This tropical sipper features Gin, Pineapple & Coconut Rums, Bianca Vermouth, Pineapple Gomme Syrup, Coconut-Infused Whole Milk, Clarified Lime & Pineapple Juices, garnished with Toasted Coconut Flakes

Treat yourself to one on your next visit to experience something elegant & transportive, perfectly built for long summer nights.

Cheers to you!

After nearly nine years behind the bar and at the heart of The Roosevelt Room, Matthew Korzelius has officially turned the page to his next chapter.⁠
⁠
Matty’s journey is one few will replicate. He started as a bartender, proving himself not only as a technician of the craft but also as a leader of people. From there, he progressed to Assistant Bar Manager, Bar Manager, Assistant General Manager, and ultimately became a Business Partner and Co-Owner. At every step, he didn’t just rise—he redefined it.⁠
⁠
What made Matty so special wasn’t only his talent behind the bar or his understanding of hospitality, but his ability to understand people. He is one of the most empathetic and emotionally intelligent people we’ve worked with. He had a way of seeing the real you, cutting through noise and meeting people where they were. That ability shaped our culture and created a real connection across the team.⁠
⁠
If you’ve ever heard one of Matty’s speeches, you know their impact. Thoughtful and intentional, he had a gift for saying exactly what needed to be said in a way that stayed with you long after. More than once, his words brought a room to a standstill—and a few of us to tears.⁠
⁠
Of course, there’s more to Matty than meets the eye: a karaoke voice that could steal any staff party, a deep devotion to the Buffalo Bills, and a questionable love for Cucumber-Lime Gatorade. Those quirks are part of his legacy, too.⁠
⁠
While this marks the end of his day-to-day role, Matty will remain involved over the coming months to help ensure a smooth transition—a reflection of his professionalism and care for what he helped build. His impact on The Roosevelt Room is lasting, not just in what he created, but in how he made people feel.⁠
⁠
We’re grateful for everything he gave to the business, the team, and all of us personally. Proud of him, thankful for the journey, and excited for what comes next.⁠
⁠
Cheers to you, Matty. And of course, Go Bills!

Taylor at the iconic Hotel Nacional de Cuba in Havana, this classic first appeared in print in 1935 and has remained a staple of elegant cocktail culture ever since. It’s a drink that captures the spirit of its origin—vibrant, balanced, and just a touch indulgent.⁠
⁠
Our version blends 3 Stars with Apricot Brandy, housemade Pineapple Gomme & Demerara syrups, fresh Pineapple & Lime juices, and a touch of Cassia & Nutmeg tinctures to a bit of warming winter spice. ⁠
⁠

Rich, balanced, and endlessly intriguing, the Blood & Sand is a cocktail that continues to stand the test of time.⁠
⁠
First crafted in 1922 at London’s Savoy Hotel, this Prohibition-era classic was named after the Rudolph Valentino film of the same name. Nearly a century later, it remains a masterclass in harmony, blending smoky, sweet, and citrus notes into one unforgettable sip.⁠
⁠
Our version combines our RR Blended Scotch, 10-Year Single Malt Scotch, RR Sweet Vermouth blend, Cherry Heering, fresh Orange juice, and a touch of salt to bring it all together.⁠
⁠
Join us tonight and experience this timeless classic for yourself.⁠

Clear to the eye but remarkably complex on the palate, the Silver Meadows is a cocktail that rewards patience and curiosity. ⁠
⁠
Created in 2016 by our co-owners and founders - Justin Lavenue and Dennis Gobis - the goal was simple: craft a seemingly unassuming cocktail that surprises with every sip. Perfecting this intricate libation took six months and ultimately required a two-step clarification process.⁠
⁠
This sultry sipper featreus Plata, Torontel, Nigori Sake, Foie Gras fat-washed St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, Agave nectar, Clarified Lime & Grapefruit juices, and a touch of Sweetgrass tincture for a sip that’s deceptively simple but astonishingly layered in flavor.⁠
⁠
Stop by tonight and experience this remarkable creation for yourself.⁠
