Classic Cocktails

Old Fashioned

BOURBON OR RYE, SUGAR CUBE, ANGOSTURA BITTERS, ORANGE PEEL, MARASCHINO CHERRY "The very first definition of the word “cocktail” in print (way back in 1806) described a combination of sugar, bitters, water, and spirit. In other words, this drink is precisely what the word cocktail referred to 200 years ago. Old fashioned, indeed."

Negroni

GIN, CAMPARI, SWEET VERMOUTH, ORANGE PEEL "Born of a happy accident during the early 20th century, this drink was created by Count Camillo Negroni, who swapped the traditional club soda in his Americano with gin."

Daiquiri

RUM, SIMPLE SYRUP, LIME JUICE "The blender has certainly put its stamp on the Daiquiri, but this profoundly simple drink is at its best when it stays clear of a steel blade."

Manhattan

RYE, SWEET VERMOUTH, BITTERS, MARASCHINO CHERRY "No one knows for certain who created this cocktail or where. Despite its mysterious history, it likely came into being sometime around the 1880s as a combination of rye whiskey, sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters. While many bartenders today substitute bourbon for rye, there’s nothing like the original."

$10

Mint Julep

BOURBON, MINT, SIMPLE SYRUP "This bourbon cocktail is the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby, sure. But drinking it shouldn’t be relegated to just one day a year."

Tom Collins

GIN, LEMON JUICE, SIMPLE SYRUP, CLUB SODA "A likely descendent of the gin punches of the 19th century, this mix tastes like a spiked sparkling lemonade and goes down just as easily."

Moscow Mule

VODKA, LIME JUICE, GINGER BEER "Said to have been created in the 1940s as a way to introduce Americans to vodka, a then-uncommon spirit, this cocktail is perhaps most notable for the vessel it’s traditionally served in: an eye-catching copper mug."

Sazerac

RYE WHISKEY, SUGAR CUBE, PEYCHAUD'S BITTERS, ANGOSTURA BITTERS, ABSINTHE RINSE "Ever been to New Orleans? If so, then you’ve probably had this cocktail. Created in the mid-1800s at the Sazerac Coffee House in the storied Crescent City, the Sazerac is a complex concoction that starts with an absinthe rinse. "

Martini

GIN OR VODKA, DRY VERMOUTH, ORANGE BITTERS, LEMON PEEL "The Martini is known for its allure and sophistication, but its origins are muddled at best. The formula appeared in print under several different names around the turn of the 20th century."

$10

French 75

GIN, SIMPLE SYRUP, PROSECCO, LEMON PEEL "Named for a piece of French artillery used in World War I, the bubbly element of this cocktail renders it an ideal drink for New Year’s Eve or similar celebrations, but it’s a great way to kick off an ordinary weekend brunch as well."
