Classic cocktails in Santa Fe

Visiting from New York this weekend and wondering if the classic cocktail trend has made it's way to Santa Fe yet. Thinking of an equivalent to NYC places like Pegu Club, Flatiron Lounge, Death & Co., etc - fresh squeezed juices, homemade ingredients (ginger beer, bitters, etc.), knowledgable bartenders, everything measured, nothing from a gun, etc.

Anything like this in Santa Fe?

Interesting question... I hope someone else knows more than I do...

I've been looking around for some place like this in Albuquerque or Santa Fe. I've found a few liquor stores (in Albuquerque) that are very well stocked with specialty liquors and spirits but I haven't found a bar that is serving "classic cocktails" of the type you describe or even less innovative but solid classic cocktails.

"Under the dusty almond trees, ... stalls were set up which sold banana liquor, rolls, blood puddings, chopped fried meat, meat pies, sausage, yucca breads, crullers, buns, corn breads, puff pastes, longanizas, tripes, coconut nougats, rum toddies, along with all sorts of trifles, gewgaws, trinkets, and knickknacks, and cockfights and lottery tickets."

-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1962 "Big Mama's Funeral"
