Daily Mix / Grenadine / Orange Juice / Pineapple Juice / Rum

Rum Punch

The RUM PUNCH can easily be too sweet, or it can be perfectly balanced and refreshing. This particular mix is one I consider excellent, striking a balance between fruity refreshment and robust rum strength. Learned from a Cape Cod bartender,...

Aperol/Campari/Cynar / Daily Mix / Orange Juice / Tequila / Mezcal

Aperol Margarita

The APEROL MARGARITA combines two summer favorites: the margarita and the Aperol spritz. A splash of Italian Aperol replaces the orange liqueur typically used in a margarita, adding its own bittersweet twist. Fresh orange juice balances the sour edge of...

Bitters / Daily Mix / Gin / Orange Juice / Throwback Thursday / Vermouth (sweet & dry)

Bronx cocktail

The BRONX COCKTAIL was invented by a Waldorf Astoria barman after visiting and being inspired by the opening of the Bronx Zoo in 1899, giving the Bronx its own cocktail. It’s a classic gin martini enhanced with a trio of...

Bitters / Cognac / Brandy / Daily Mix / Gin / Grenadine / Orange Juice

Golden Dawn

The GOLDEN DAWN is a fruity and tart, yet complex “martini.” It’s not a traditional martini with vermouth. But the bitters mixed with gin, apricot brandy and applejack give it a power-punch equivalent to a martini. The orange juice infusion...

Curacao / Daily Mix / Gin / Orange Juice / Throwback Thursday / Vermouth (sweet & dry)

Satan’s Whiskers

Despite its name, SATAN’S WHISKERS is anything but the drink from hell. It is a complex blend of sweet, bitter & citrusy orange layers. It’s “perfect” in being equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, orange juice and Grand Marnier....
