PINK JACKET :: 12
A riff of the Yellow Jacket cocktail created by Jason Kosmas from NYC employees only. We’re swapping out the Yellow Chartreuse for Suze & Zamir Vodka while adding some grapefruit juice. Although it is floral and herbaceous, you get a strong ruby grapefruit flavor and a bold sweetness. Zamir “The Peace Maker” Vodka is produced in Honeoye Falls, New York and is branded after acclaimed Russian journalist and producer Zamir Grotta, who believes a little vodka can end any war.
Zamir Vodka, Suze, St. Germaine, Grapefruit Juice, Cranberry Juice
SARATOGA :: 12
First appearing in Jerry Thomas’ second edition ‘Bartender’s guide’ in 1887 as a favor to his notorious friend, politician and founding member of the Saratoga race course John Morrissey. This drink was a favorite at the Saratoga Club House which boasted a $25 cover charge in 1871 ($450.00+ inf lation adjustment). Once upon a time Saratoga Springs was thriving with casinos, hotels, spas, opera houses and was the modern day equivalent of our Las Vegas. We make our version with Black walnut bitters and a 100% fresh Saratoga Spring ice cube.
Ironweed Rye whiskey, Hennessey Privilege, Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torrino, Black walnut bitters
MATA HARI :: 12
This drink is named after famed WWI spy, exotic dancer and courtesan Margreet ‘Mata Hari’ Macleod, a pioneer of her time, she was one of the first to be photographed while ‘belly dancing’ and was the center of many scandals. Most notably being recruited to spy on German crown prince Wilhelm, while doing so she became a double agent and was eventually outed by her German commander. She tried for treason and eventually executed on October 15 1917. Apparently, she picked this drink up while living with her first husband in Indonesia.
Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac, House infused Chai Dolin Rouge vermouth, Pomegranate juice, Lemon juice, Dried Roses
BOURBON RENEWAL :: 12
The creation of modern mixologist Jeffrey Morgenthaler, this drink is the top seller at Portland Oregan’s ‘Clyde Commons’. Hillrock distillery is the first farm to bottle, estate produced whiskey distillery in the post prohibition USA. Master distiller David Pickerrell takes exceptional care to produce some of the highest quality whiskey of our time.
Hillrock Bourbon, Supercassis, Lemon juice, Simple syrup, Angostura
CAIPRAINHA :: 12
Similar to a mojito made with rum except with cachaça. Cachaca is Brazillian rum, most rum is distilled from molasses in a column still unlike cachaça which is pure cane sugar juice distilled in a pot still. Cachaca was initially made when Portugal held colonies in South America and pot stills were brought over from Madeira Island. The Caiprainha is the national drink of Brazil and by far the most famous cocktail using cachaça.
