Cocktail

Aviation

A pre-prohibition cocktail invented around the time people started flying through the air, named for its sky blue hue. Gin, Maraschino Liqueur, Lemon Juice, Creme De Violette. Served up with a homemade maraschino cherry

Sazerac

Rye Whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, Sugar. Served up in an Absinthe Rinsed Glass

Cosmopolitan

Don't be bashful, the Cosmo is still a fantastic drink. Especially when made with fresh juice. Citrus Vodka, Fresh Lime, Cointreau, Cranberry

Side Car

The Classic Brandy Cocktail Cognac, Cointreau, Lemon Juice. Served up with a sugar, clove and lemon zest coated rim.

Original Martini

What you may have got if you ordered a Martini Circa 1910> Gin, Sweet vermouth, dash of orange bitters. Served up with a homemade maraschino cherry.

Mojito

A Cuban import you can enjoy here legally. We make ours with light brown sugar that lends itself nicely to the rum. Rum, Fresh lime and mint, light brown sugar, splash of soda.

Negroni

Apparently Count Camillo Negroni's Americano Cocktail was not strong enough. His bartender added a bit of gin> Gin, campari, sweet vermouth. Served up or on the rocks with a twist.

Negroni Spagliato

Somewhere along the line a bottle of prosecco was accidentally placed where the gin was supposed to go. Hence the mistaken Negroni. Prosecco, campari, sweet vermouth. Served on the rocks with a twist.

Sgroppino

Our take on the Venetian classic served as a Prosecco float rather than the smoothie you will find in Italy. Prosecco, vodka, a dollop of lemon sorbet, mint sprig

The Honeymooner

Passion Fruit and Gin merry nicely in a martini glass. Martini Bianco, Gin, Passion Fruit Puree
