Gin, maraschino liqueur, lime juice, chartreuse
History: While the exact our origin of this cocktail is a bit murky, it is widely understood that the drink was born at the Detroit Athletic Club in Michigan in the early 1900s. The first recorded publication of this cocktail was found in the 1951 book by Ted Saucier and it was called,
“Bottoms Up”.
Classic Gin Martini $13
Gin, dry vermouth, orange bitters, lemon
History: Claim over this cocktail reigns in the town of Martinez, California. Here historians and town inhabitants claim the drink was invented during the Gold Rush. The story is that a goldminer who had recently struck it rich decided to celebrate his good fortune at a local bar. He requested Champagne, which was unavailable, so the bartender concocted a drink from ingredients he had, gin, vermouth, bitters, maraschino liqueur and a slice of lemon and called it “The Martinez Special”
The Roosevelt Martini $13
Gin, dry vermouth, olive brine
History: As mentioned in the Classic Gin Martini, history would be similar. President Roosevelt at the end of Prohibition stated in his address, “What the country needs now, is a drink” and he toasted with a dirty martini. Famous quotes regarding the Martini include, James Bond, “Shaken, not stirred” and Ernest Hemingway, in a Farewell to Arms, “I’ve never tasted anything so cool and clean…They make me feel civilized.
White Lily $13
Gin, white rum, curacao, absinthe
History: Created at the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel. Here they served American style cocktails in London to the British upper class.
Hemingway Daiquiri $11
Rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice, grapefruit juice
History: While Hemingway was a passionate traveler who drew inspiration from every corner of the globe, no country was closer to his heart than Cuba. It’s no surprise, then, that Havana is the birthplace of the cocktail that bears Hemingway’s name. While the exact events surrounding its creation are lost to history, we do know that a lot of trial and error was involved before the Hemingway Daiquiri earned Papa’s stamp of approval in 1921.
The Classic Daiquiri $11
Rum, lemon juice, simple syrup
History: According to legend, a white guy was visiting Cuba and decided to be the first to combine, rum, lime juice and sugar. That man was Jennings Cox an American mining engineer living in Cuba. The story says that during a party, Jennings ran out of Gin, needing to continue with the party, he grabbed some local rum and whipped up this simple punch.
Old Cuban $12
Dark Rum, lime juice, simple syrup, sparkling wine, mint
History: At only 19 years old, the Old Cuban is relatively young for a cocktail that’s already considered a classic. Created in 2001, this drink became a signature offering at the Pegu Club in New York City. Audrey Saunders, the genius behind this cocktail, worked meticulously on its recipe before unveiling it at her bar in the Big Apple. Initially called El Cubano, the drink sits somewhere between a Mojito and a French 75.
Millionaire Cocktail $13
Dark Rum, Sloe Gin, Apricot Brandy, lime juice and grenadine
History: Despite Prohibition – or maybe because of it – during the 1920s drinking gained a social acceptance it never had before. And the stock market was creating more millionaires (at least on paper) than history had ever known. So, The Millionaire Cocktail was born.
This cocktail was first published in Harry Craddock’s “The Savoy Cocktail Book”
Mojito $11
White Rum, lime juice, club soda
History: The Mojito was born from a desire to create a concoction that embodied the essence of Cuban culture. Its inception can be traced back to the 16th century when Sir Francis Drake and his crew landed in Cuba during their exploration of the Caribbean. Suffering from scurvy and dysentery, Drake’s men sought solace in the healing properties of aguardiente, a primitive form of rum. This early encounter with the potent spirit laid the foundation for what would later become the Mojito.
Tommy Gun $13
Irish whisky, Grand Marnier, Ginger, Apricot Jam, Lemon Juice
History: The Tommy gun was intended to be a military weapon, but as organized crime skyrocketed during Prohibition and the Great Depression, it soon became the firearm of choice. for gangsters like Al Capone. Valentine’s Day in 1929 Chicago was a bad day for Chicago’s North Side Gang. Seven members were at a garage in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago that morning but were lined up against a wall and riddled with bullets fired from Tommy Guns by four assailants.
Mary Pickford $11
Rum, pineapple juice, grenadine
History: Gladys Louise Smith (April 8, 1892 – May 29, 1979), known professionally as Mary Pickford, was a Canadian actress resident in the United States. The most oft-repeated story about the Mary Pickford cocktail is that it was “invented” in Cuba in the ’20s in honor of the silent-screen star, who was then visiting the island along with her actor-husband Douglas Fairbanks while they were making a movie there. But a thorough review of Mary and Doug’s schedule reveals no trips to Cuba—and they never made a film there during their marriage.
Man O’ War $13
Bourbon, Cointreau, sweet vermouth, lemon juice, simple syrup
History: This cocktail is said to be named after an American Thoroughbred who was one of the greatest racehorses in history, winning 20 of 21 races in 1919-20. However, history also says that the beverage goes back to the 1800s, when it was first introduced by Admiral William Sidney Smith who was the actual creator of the cocktail in 1806 and given its name as a reference to his Royal Navy flagship HMS “HMS Man O’ War”, which he commanded at the Battle of Trafalgar and through his service during the Napoleonic Wars .
Old Fashioned $13
Bourbon, simple syrup, bitters
History: The first time this cocktail is mentioned is in the early 1800’s. However, it took another 80 years before people started to regularly refer to it as an Old Fashioned. The Old-Fashioned cocktail long had been thought to be an American invention. After all, the recipe was first mentioned in an American newspaper. But just a few years ago, new information showed that the true roots of the Old-Fashioned drink template are not in the US.
It started in the 1690s in Great Britain with the “Elixir Magnum Stomachicum,” a product manufactured and sold by Dr. Richard Stoughton.
Bourbon Manhattan $13
Bourbon, sweet vermouth, orange bitters
History: Most likely the Manhattan cocktail was invented in the 1860s by a bartender named Black, who created the drink while working at a bar on Houston Street on Broadway, New York. However, there are many versions of the history of the invention of the Manhattan cocktail. What is certain is that it dates back to the mid-1800s and has been one of the first – if not the first- cocktails to include sweet vermouth.
The Gangster $13
Bourbon, maraschino liqueur lemon juice
History: After the 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919, Congress followed with the National Prohibition Act. Commonly referred to as the Volstead Act, the legislation outlawed the production, distribution, and transportation of alcohol. Prohibition officially went into effect on January 16, 1920. But while reformers rejoiced, famous gangsters such as Al Capone capitalized and profited from the illegal alcohol market. From Los Angeles to Chicago to New York, organized crime syndicates supplied speakeasies and underground establishments with large quantities of beer and liquor. These complex bootlegging operations used rivers and waterways to smuggle alcohol across state lines. Eventually, other criminal enterprises expanded and diversified from the bootlegging profits.
This drink is reminiscent of that era.
Highball $12
Scotch, seltzer
History: There are several theories about the origins of the classic Highball cocktail but the cocktail we know and love today was invented in the UK and gained popularity in the US, before eventually being perfected in Japan.
FUN FACT: In the days of steam locomotives, the system ran a ball up the duct when the boiler reached a high level. It is said the men then took a break to drink whisky, hence the name ‘highball’.
Tax Evasion $13
Scotch, sloe gin, absinthe, bitters
History: One of the most controversial political questions of the late 18th and early 19th century was the enactment of excise taxes on alcohol. As costs connected to the Civil War increased, the federal government once again considered excise taxes as a way of raising money. In 1862, the government decided to enact a federal excise tax on alcohol, the first tax of its kind since 1817. The new tax raised approximately 20 cents for every 100-proof gallon of whiskey. After the war, the government not only continued the policy, but actually increased the tax as a way to discourage production and consumption. Between 1865 and 1868, the excise tax spiked to about $2 per gallon (roughly equivalent to about $30 today). In response, distilleries throughout the nation went underground and as a way of evading the tax. Nowhere was this practice as common as Brooklyn’s 5th Ward, known at this time as Vinegar Hill. Starting in 1869, the newly created Bureau of Internal Revenue and U.S. soldiers began patrolling the Brooklyn neighborhood, searching for underground operations and smashing whiskey barrels, destroying stills, and arresting distillers. These raids on the 5th Ward would later become known as the Whiskey Wars, and this heavy taxation led to many of the same practices exercised by both distillers and the government during Prohibition in the 1920s.
Sidecar $12
Cognac, lemon juice, orange liqueur
History: In Paris, the Sidecar is often attributed to Harry MacElhone, the founder of the famous Harry’s New York Bar. This establishment was a popular spot for American expatriates, and it was here that the Sidecar is believed to have been first concocted. Meanwhile, across the English Channel in London, another version of the story unfolds. Here, Pat MacGarry, a renowned bartender at the prestigious Buck’s Club, is also credited with the invention of the Sidecar. The Buck’s Club was known for its innovative cocktails, and it’s entirely plausible that the Sidecar was born within its esteemed walls.
