Negroni
Dry Gin
·Red Bitters
·Sweet Vermouth
·If you like Negronis, you probably actually love Negronis. It’s just that kind of drink. Bittersweet and boozy. A high wire balancing act that would only be attempted by three bold ingredients such as these. This red-hued classic is unmistakable, even at a quick glance, and especially once you’ve had your first sip.
Tasting Notes: Bright orange and grapefruit with fresh juniper and a juicy, yet bitter, finish.
“A Negroni is a perfect drink as far as I'm concerned. It's three liquors that I'm not particularly interested in but put them together with a slice of orange. It works. ”
Manhattan
Rye Whiskey
·Sweet Vermouth
·Bitters
·This one is the sophisticated extrovert. Sure, it’s spirit-forward, but still refreshing. The Manhattan is bold and spices things up with its peppery bite. With each sip comes a little more truth and a little more confidence to speak it.
Tasting Notes: Herbaceous spicy profile with dark cherry and cinnamon undertones.
“Our two best agents for stimulating appetite are whisky, in small doses of one or two drams three times a day, or a Manhattan cocktail half an hour before meals.”
Old Fashioned
Bourbon Whiskey
·Orange Bitters
·Cane Sugar
·The Old Fashioned is the original cocktail. It’s as classic as it gets and, when done right, it’s the mark of a master. You want to taste the bourbon, followed by a hint of sweet orangey citrus and rounded out at the finish with the warming spice of bitters.
Tasting Notes: Vanilla, citrus and caramel on the palate going into a stone fruit and spice finish.
“One of America’s greatest contributions to human contentment.”
