Drinks

Good Evening.

This Beverage menu,

Is unlike most others.

           

As in love & life;

You will not find straight lines or clear instruction.

 

Instead,

It’s arranged from twilight until midnight

 Compiled with the expression of ones mood in mind.

 

Some products appear in more than one place,

 Some may not appear at all…

 

Open to new experiences?

  Borrowed Classics

(I like a drink with a story)

  

ADONIS

Sherry, Italian Vermouth, Orange Bitters                                             21

 

“The Adonis was named after the 1884 burlesque show by William Gill, which is often credited as the first-ever Broadway musical. While the production enjoyed its popularity, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City created a cocktail in its honour, marrying a base of sherry along  with orange bitters and sweet vermouth. To this day it remains one of the most successful sherry-based aperitif cocktails in the classic canon.”

 

 

SAZARAC

Rye Whisky, Peychaud’s Bitters, Absinthe                                           23

 

“The Sazerac draws its name from an old brand of cognac known as Sazerac de Forge et Fils, the preferred brandy of Antoine Amedee Peychaud, who enjoyed adding his namesake bitters to the drink. A switch to rye whiskey came about due to the phylloxera epidemic that eradicated nearly all French vineyards in the 19th century. With the characteristic inclusion of absinthe, this twist on the classic Old Fashioned made its way across America and the world alike.”

There are two popular variations of this timeless preparation; the New Orleans Sazerac using two full measures of rye whiskey, and the New York Sazerac which called for equal parts rye whiskey and cognac

 

 

EVENING

But few of them remember it.”
