The drinks
Gin
Aviation A forbidden romance of gin, maraschino, lemon, and violet—soft as a secret, and just as intoxicating
Corpse Reviver Gin, orange liqueur, Swedish punsch, lemon, and a kiss of absinthe—an invitation to the living, the lost, and those lingering somewhere in between
Martinez Old Tom gin, Cocchi Rosa, maraschino, and bitters — where gin first l learned to flirt like whiskey
White Negroni Gin, Cocchi Blanco, and Salers Gentiana— bitter and bright, like a quiet betrayal dressed in white
Amanda’s Tears Gin, Dolin Génépy, sweet vermouth, and peach bitters — delicate, bittersweet, and quietly dangerous, like the tears you pretend not to notice
Arbus after Midnight Gin, St. Elder Pamplemousse, ginger liqueur, and orange bitters — bright citrus and sharp ginger wrapped in shadows; where the night lingers, and the stories get strange
Whiskey
Toronto Rye, Fernet, simple syrup, and bitters — cold, sharp, and quietly dangerous
Godfather Scotch and amaretto — smoky, sweet, and not to be trusted
Manhattan Rye, sweet vermouth, and bitters — the original velvet glove hiding a very firm fist
Old Fashion Old Overholt Rye, Soda, Bitters- simple, stoic, and entirely unforgiving
Paper Plane Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon — bright and bitter, like a love letter never sent
Sazerac Rye, absinthe, sugar, and bitters — old New Orleans magic served cold, sharp, and just a little haunted
Boulevardier Bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Campari — a velvet-tongued twist on the Negroni
Carolina Wildflower Bourbon, Bénédictine, elderflower, and chocolate bitters — soft blooms over dark roots, where sweetness hides a deeper pull
Claret Sour Bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, red wine float-bright and easy at first glance, with a dark crimson current swirling just beneath
Michigan Tart Rye, lemon, Averna, and Michigan tart cherry liqueur — sharp, rich, and just sweet enough to make you forget how it ends
Agave
Honey Bee Tequila, honey, lemon and angostura — golden and sharp, with a sting that lingers longer than the kiss that caused it
Sacred Smoke Mezcal, Benedictine, lemon, honey syrup orange bitters-sweet smoke and whispered sins
Other
Daiquiri Rum, lime, and sugar — clean, sharp, and perfectly balanced, like a lie told with a smile
Wisconsin Old Fashion Brandy & old fashioned mix-sweet, bold, and a little unhinged after two
Chicago Hammjob Hamm’s and a shot of Gorki List- if you gotta ask you’ll never know
Low ABV Cocktails
A Drink Has No Name Port & tonic- light, crisp, and quietly defiant… the kind of drink that slips past the doorman without saying a word
Slow Gin Fizz Sloe gin, lemon, simple syrup, soda water-bright, blushing, and gone too fast, like a summer fling you never quite forget.
