Brooklyn

April 16, 2010

Rittenhouse 100 proof rye
Luxardo Maraschino
Amer Picon
Dolin dry vermouth

Stir and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange ribbon.

This was Brooke's last cocktail of the day at Range, and we made about 8000 of 'em. We're gonna miss you Brooke!

The Taxman

April 15, 2010

Flor de Caña 4 year rum
Diplomatico rum
Vya dry vermouth
lime juice
guava
simple syrup

Muddle the guava and shake all but the dark rum. Fine-strain into a collins glass and float the Diplomatico. Garnish with a lime.

Just pretend you lived on some remote island and didn't have to pay taxes. This is what you'd be drinking.

Genevive

April 11, 2010

Anchor Distilling Genevieve
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.

Sunny Jim

April 8, 2010

Rittenhouse Rye 100 proof
Benedictine
Qi white tea liqueur
Dolin dry vermouth
Regan's orange bitters

Combine and stir ingredients. Serve in a cocktail glass with a lemon ribbon.

Boozy goodness! "Sunny" Jim Rolph was the longest serving mayor of San Francisco and he loved his booze. He served 19 years as mayor of San Francisco all throughout Prohibition, and his last two-and-a-half years as governor of California. During his tenure he remained lax on Prohibition restrictions, and in doing so established SF as the cocktail capital of the United States. We love Sunny Jim!

Zubrowka vodka
Dolin dry vermouth
tarragon
meyer lemon syrup
lemon juice
Bitter Truth lemon bitters

Muddle the tarragon with the simple syrup. Shake ingredients and strain into a collins glass. Garnish with a lemon ribbon.

This tall cooler just might make the ol' cocktail list.

Confetti

Sagatiba Velha cachaça
Dolin dry vermouth
simple syrup
lime
blood orange

Muddle the lime and blood orange chunks, combine ingredients, shake and dump contents into a bucket glass. No garnish.

A vivid red take on the Caipirinha. The crowd went wild!!

The Gecko

Flor de Caña silver rum
Dolin dry vermouth
lime juice
kiwi
Regan's orange bitters

Muddle 1/4 kiwi, combine ingredients, shake and strain into a collins glass. Garnish with a lime half-wheel.

As I said before, I love making green drinks.

The Healer

March 5, 2010

Old Overholt rye whiskey
Noily Pratt dry vermouth
Benedictine
pineapple
lemon

Muddle pineapple, shake and fine-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with fresh nutmeg.

This is an old Range classic from way back in aught-seven. Delish.

The Quiet Cocktail

March 1, 2010

Barsol Pisco
Noily Pratt dry vermouth
guava
lemon
simple syrup
Fee Brothers grapefruit bitters
Kubler absinthe

Muddle the guava, shake ingredients, then fine-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a grapefruit ribbon.

We just got in some beautiful California guavas and we're experimenting with something to go on the list this week. This one might just do the trick!

Pearfecta

February 24, 2010

Hendrick's gin
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.

Valencia Favorite

February 19, 2010

Plymouth gin
Laird's Applejack
Dubonnet
Noily Pratt dry vermouth
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.

Ave Maria

February 13, 2010

Pueblo Viejo silver tequila
Dolin dry vermouth
Saint Germain elderflower liqueur
lime juice
Fee Brothers grapefruit bitters

Shake and strain into an ice-filled bucket. Garnish with a thick chunk of lime.

We just got in a case each of Dolin sweet and dry vermouths, and I love 'em! The vermouth in this drink adds a crisp, herbal dryness. Good stuff.

Old Pal

January 28, 2010

Old Overholt rye
Campari
Noily Pratt dry vermouth
mole rojo bitters

Stir ingredients and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange ribbon.

This is a classic... sort of. The original had grenadine and sweet vermouth and no bitters, so essentially it's a totally different cocktail. Good name though.

Mandarin Blossom

January 12, 2010

Hendrick's gin
Noily Pratt dry vermouth
Mandarin orange
lavender honey
lemon juice

Muddle half of a mandarin, combine ingredients and shake. Fine-strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Clean and fresh. The lavender does a little dance with the rose in the Hendrick's, but it's not too floral.

Rosita

December 27, 2009

Siete Leguas reposado tequila
Cinzano sweet vermouth
Noily Pratt dry vermouth
Campari
Angostura bitters

Stir and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange chip.

It's a tequila Negroni. Less bitter, mas fuego.

November 23, 2009

Old Overholt rye whiskey
Noill Pratt dry vermouth
Santa Teresa Rhum Orange liqueur
Angostura orange bitters
Angostura bitters

Stir ingredients and serve up. Garnish with an orange chip.

An elegant alternative to a Manhattan.

The Matador

November 12, 2009

Chamucos reposado tequila
Vya extra dry vermouth
Pernod
lemon juice
apple butter

Shake ingredients and fine strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a small fennel frond.

This unlikely combination turned out amazingly well balanced and refreshing. Pernod can easily overwhelm a cocktail, so make sure to use no more than an 1/8 ounce.

Original Sin

November 8, 2009

209 gin
Saint Germain elderflower liqueur
Noilly Prat dry vermouth
apple cider
lemon juice
Regan's orange bitters

Shaken and fine strained into a cocktail glass. No garnish.

Initially, we had no name for this one, but a kind and creative guest came up with "Original Sin"... after three of them! Thanks!

Western Rose

November 4, 2009

Plymouth gin
Marie Brizard Apry
Noilly Prat dry vermouth
lime juice

Shake it, then fine strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a mint leaf.

The Savoy Cocktail Book recipe says to use apricot brandy and lemon juice, but we were feeling sassy. This one is surprisingly dry, despite the generous amount of Apry.

Bensonhurst

October 20, 2009

Old Overholt rye whiskey
Cynar
Luxardo Maraschino
Noilly Prat dry vermouth

Stir. Serve up without a garnish.

We lifted this one from PDT in New York, NY. It's a variation of the Brooklyn Cocktail with Cynar standing in for Amer Picon, and is named after the predominantly Italian-American section of Brooklyn.
