Classics and Variants

Just playing it nice and easy with a menu of favorites, some good talk, and maybe a few hands of poker.

gin and dry vermouth

Dry Martini

gin and dry vermouth

Two ingredients. Stirred perfectly. Straight-up.

gin

Vesper

gin, vodka, and lillet blanc

A "new Bond" classic that actually tastes pretty good.

gin

Dirty Martini

gin, dry vermouth, and olive brine

Herbal and briny. This isn't for everyone, but those who love it could never go back.

bourbon/rye

Manhattan

bourbon/rye, sweet vermouth, and bitters

The classic cocktail. It's a little sweet, plenty strong, and works well with a good rye.

bourbon/rye

Black Manhattan

bourbon/rye, amaro, and bitters

A twist on the Manhattan. Swapping out sweet vermouth for a nice Amaro adds herbal notes.

rye

Revolver

rye, coffee liqueur, and orange

Swap out boring old vermouth for delicious coffee and orange tastes.

light rum

Daiquiri

light rum, lime juice, and demerara syrup

This is not a slushie, and it doesn’t come in mango or strawberry. It’s daiquiri the way God intended, and the way Ernest Hemingway and JFK enjoyed. Good rum, fresh lime juice, and demerara.

prohibition

Hemingway Daiquiri

rum, maraschino, lime juice, and grapefruit juice

Created in Cuba for the man himself, this is the daiquiri recipe to kill all other daiquiris.

gin

Negroni

gin, campari, and sweet vermouth

Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Simple. Sweet. Bitter. Delightful.

bourbon

Boulevardier

bourbon, sweet vermouth, and campari

Your classic Negroni with bourbon. It’s perfect for relaxing on the porch on a hot day (when you’re out of gin).

bourbon

Boston Sour

bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and an egg white

Best served straight up with an egg white. A perfect mix of sweet and sour and velvety mouthfeel.

bourbon or rye

New York Sour

bourbon or rye, lemon juice, simple syrup, and red wine

A float of wine on top of a whiskey sour on the rocks adds a fruity taste and turns this into a perfect drink for a hot day.

espresso

Flying Frenchman

espresso, mister black, and absinthe

One of Greenie's new favorites, this keeps the smoothness and velvety crema of a good espresso martini, and replaces the sweetness with an alcoholic punch.
