El Palomino

Oloroso sherry
209 gin
strawberry
sparkling white wine
Muddle a medium strawberry. Combine all but the sparkling wine, shake and fine-strain into a champagne flute. Top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a lemon twist.
This cocktail has a classic aperitif profile: Clean and crisp, but with enough intriguing herbal-fruit notes to really wake up your appetite. The name comes from the Palomino Fino grape from which sherry is made.

Build in a collins glass. Garnish with a lemon ribbon.
Like a Dark and Stormy, but not so dark. Love the gin/ginger combo.

Canton ginger liqueur
lime juice
mint
Gently muddle the mint, then build in a pilsner glass. Roll a few times and top with soda water. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
We took Absinthe's recipe and tweaked it a bit with the Canton. Stealing is fun!

Hendrick's gin
Yellow Chartreuse
Luxardo Maraschino
lime juice
strawberry
Muddle the strawberry, shake, fine-strain into a cocktail glass. No garnish.
Yes, this is a play on the Last Word, but we backed off the liqueurs and used yellow in place of green Chartreuse to let the strawberry shine.

Vya dry vermouth
Luxardo maraschino liqueur
Small Hand Food pineapple gum syrup
strawberry
lemon juice
Angostura bitters
Muddle strawberry, shake the rest and fine-strain into an ice-filled bucket. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
This ain't no sissy drink! Genevieve is something to contemplate rather than quaff... this one is herbal, fruity, and complex. Amatures need not apply.

Kubler absinthe
Spray a cocktail glass with absinthe. Shake ingredients and fine-strain into the glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
A little twist on the Corpse Reviver #2, with clementine and meyer syrup subbing for the Cointreau and Lillet. Deeee-lish!

Shake and fine-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon chip.
This is a slight variation on the classic Bee’s Knees. We just made it with Meyer lemon and added the bitters.

Shake and fine-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a ribbon of bergamot peel.
As you may know, "teetotaler" refers to those who abstain from drinking alcohol. Ohhh the irony...

Beefeater gin
Marie Brizard Apry
lemon juice
Angostura bitters
Shake and fine-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon ribbon.
This is a twist on the classic Pegu Club which uses orange curacao instead of the Apry, and lime instead of lemon. Nice citrus hit with a beautifully balanced finish.

St. George Spirits pear eau-de-vie
Dolin dry vermouth
Fee Brothers grapefruit bitters
Stir and serve in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon ribbon.
This is what a "pear-tini" should be. Clean, dry and elegant. Actually, the only cocktail name that should end with "-tini" is the MAR-tini.

Angostura bitters
Peychaud's bitters
Stir and serve in a chilled rocks glass (no ice). Garnish with an orange ribbon.
This makes an excellent aperitif. It has a great balance between the sweetness of the Dubonnet and the herbal notes of the Plymouth and Noily Pratt.

lemon juice
Small Hand Foods gum syrup
egg white
thyme
Dry shake everything but the thyme. Add ice and shake thoroughly. Fine-strain into a chilled rocks glass and garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme.
This one was a simple, tart, frothy refresher. Remember to slap fresh herbs to bring their aromatics to life. Oh, and thanks to Skinny Head for the name... I loved telling it to guests all night.

Dry shake, shake with ice, and fine-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a blood orange half-moon.
This was a special request repeat Range cocktail for a buy-out that night. Oddly enough everyone drank a ton of Jack Daniels. Go figure...
