Negroni No.2
The Negroni No.2 is an easy spin-off on the classic negroni. Substituting red vermouth for dry vermouth adds an extra bite to this already bitter cocktail. If you are a true Campari fan, this version might be just what you needed. We recommend using Dolin Dry vermouth in place of the sweet red vermouth. The red vermouth is used to balance the drink and offset the bitter aftertaste with a sweet attack. However, like adding salt to enhance flavor, using Dolin Dry will accent the brightness of the Campari and let the natural bitter amaro shine through.
Mid-Morning Fizz
This fizz is an excellent use of Green Chartreuse and one of the few times I have got to use orange blossom water. This cocktail is vibrant, bright, and the chartreuse gives the drink a deeper layer of spice than a more classic fizz. The orange blossom water also adds a very fresh aroma that makes this a fun and uplifting drink.
Rusty Nail
The Rusty Nail dates back to the 1930s, but didnt gain popularity until the 1950s when the Rat Pack was considering this the “go to” drink in popular culture.
At its core, this is an old fashioned construction, 2 oz spirit and a sweetener with bitters. The original recipe in New York’s Club 21 was to combine all the ingredients in an old fashioned glass and add ice. I think our posted recipe creates a more refined version of the drink. This recipe calls for American Single Malt Scotch. I have tried many different versions using aged Scotch and Single Malt Whiskey and this is my personal preference of spirit. Lagavulin is my other prefered choice.
New York Sour
The New York sour is an old classic that seems to never be the same, as the choice of wine float (to float on top) can completely change the drink. Commonly a dry red wine is used to balance the sweetness of the drink. such as a Cab Sav or Cab Franc. The wine float is an easy way to impress your guests.
Poets Dream
The Poets Dream is not only very boozey, but very classic. This recipe is for Martini lovers. Originally created in the 1930s Old Waldorf Astoria bar book, the recipe called for equal parts gin, dry vermouth, and benedictine. However, over time the drink has evolved into a more classic martini construction.
Early Grey Morning
This sour is a special one for all tea lovers. Infusing gin with earl grey tea is the base of this cocktail. This extra step only takes a few minutes, followed by waiting for a few hours, but then is ready for your cocktail! The structure is the same as a whiskey sour, so if you are looking to divert from your classic sour, this is a fun one to try!!!
Vieux Carre
The Vieux Carre is a classic that translates to “Old Square,” the original name for the French Quarter in New Orleans. Invented by Walter Bergeron at the historic Carousel Bar inside Hotel Monteleone.
Great Fitzgerald
Similar to the original Fitzgerald recipe, this drink is named after its famous author who was fabled to prefer this gin sour. The twist on this classic recipe is the addition of fresh mint. A nice addition to this fresh citrus forward cocktail.
White Lady
The White Lady is a classic gin drink developed in London circa 1920s. This flip includes London dry gin, cointreau, lemon, simple syrup and an egg white to give the top of the drink its signature foam.
The Poutini
This is our house martini… The Poutini. The Poutini is a bright, zesty martini with a savory twist by infusing olive oil into the vodka. The olive oil we use in this infusion is a perfect pairing with our savory poutine.
Whiskey Sour
The whiskey sour is a classic that most have tried, and fairly easy to attempt at home. Try this cocktail featuring bourbon, lemon, simple syrup and egg whites to impress your guests.
Brown Derby
The Brown Derby is a classic cocktail that uses fresh grapefruit juice and honey simple syrup as its sweetener. This refreshing drink is always a hit for grapefruit fans.
