Reserve Cocktails

Daiquiri 

$30

Santa Teresa 1792 Rum, hand pressed lime juice, raw cane sugar syrup, shaken to the high heavens

This cocktail has been through the ringer. Celebrated, then bastardized, and recently reclaimed as the bartender’s handshake, this is the yardstick of perfect balance. Credited to Jennings Cox, circa 1896.

Margarita 

$55

Don Julio 1942 Tequila, hand pressed lime juice, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao & black Hawaiian salt

Was it originally mixed for actress Rita Hayworth (aka Margarita Cansino), or showgirl Marjorie King (“allergic to vodka”) or singer Norma Egstrom (aka Peggy Lee, aka Margaret) or is it just a twist on the daisy cocktail? We may never know. But what’s in a name? A cocktail by any other name ...

Roberto Boy 

$50

Balvenie 14yr old Caribbean Cask Single Malt Scotch, El Bandarra Vermouth, pineapple & star anise bitters

A working-stiff cocktail takes a trip to the Caribbean for spring break, and really let’s his hair down. Credited to Robert Roy MacGregor, Waldorf Astoria 1897

Old Fashioned 

$60

Woodford Reserve Sonoma Cutrer Pinot Noir Finished Bourbon, raw cane sugar, bitters, ice sphere, orange twist & guinette cherries

"If God made Cabernet Sauvignon, then the Devil made Pinot Noir." This bourbon, flirted with the devil for an additional 10 months of aging in PN barrels, resulting in lovely cherry, currant and chocolate notes. This is a cocktail in its purest, most simple form: spirit, sugar, bitters, water.

Japanese Vesper 

$45

Nikka Coffey Gin, Nikka Coffey Vodka, yuzu Lillet Blanc

Shaken or shtirred, your preferenshe. This James Bond classic, takes a trip to Japan, YOLO! Bright, bracing and boozey. Credited to Ian Flemming, circa 1953

50:50 Sazerac 

$250

Louis XIII Cognac, Sazerac 18yr Rye, raw cane sugar, peychaud’s bitters, angostura bitters, Nouvelle Orleans absinthe rinse, lemon twist

Literally the best of both worlds. This cocktail was born in New Orleans, and a kissing-cousin to the old fashioned. The herbaceous absinthe makes the fruit in cognac and the spice of rye, sing hymns of epic proportions.
