Recipes and More
Some of the latest cocktail creations i’m jamming on, plus other thoughts and updates from behind the bar.
One Last Midnight
In this spirit-forward drink, a take on a rum Manhattan, two Italian sweet vermouths—one rich and lush, one more bitter and nearly amaro-like—make a great combo!
Meaghan Dorman’s Gibson
The onions are the key to this cocktail. I deliberately remove the onions from the brine directly after a one-minute boil so the onions stay nice and crunchy. They make for a great bar snack too! After making the onions, be sure to retain some of the brine to add to the finished drink.
The Pearl Collins
Always good, always refreshing. You can’t go wrong with this twist on a classic collins cocktail!
The Vice Versa
Named for a sassy Dorothy Parker quote, it’s meant to be fresh and bubbly, but with layers due to the balance of rose, grapefruit and bitter orange. Its the perfect aperitif to have before dinner.
