Tip Top

It’s a drink that needs no introduction. After all, everyone associates something with a margarita, be it the beach, chips and salsa, or “it’s five o’clock somewhere.” Ours sports a simple mix of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. It’s a return to form of sorts, a celebration of the origins of a drink that has traveled far and wide. This proper, post-Prohibition cocktail has landed in the laps of distinguished imbibers for decades—now it’s yours.Salted lime with grassy vegetal notes from tequila, a juicy mouthfeel and a finish of fresh orange rind.

The Old Fashioned is the original cocktail. It’s as classic as it gets and, when done right, it’s the mark of a master. You want to taste the bourbon, followed by a hint of sweet orangey citrus and rounded out at the finish with the warming spice of bitters.

A Prohibition era standard that deserves wider acclaim, the Bee’s Knees is a classic for a reason. Tart lemon and floral honey balance each other, while the gin’s botanicals give it a crispness that’ll put extra spring in your step. The drink dates back to Paris in the 1920’s, but we think it deserves a proper introduction to a larger swarm of fans. After all, the phrase itself is defined as “surpassingly wonderful.”

Daiquiris get a bad rap. A far cry from its unholy, frozen cousin, ours is a delicate balance of ingredients, a reminder that this Caribbean crown jewel, when done right, requires expertise of even the finest drink slingers. A tropical classic in its purest form, a precise blend of silver, Jamaican, and aged rums commingles with lime and sugar to do the proper work of chasing the scurvy right out of you.

If you like Negronis, you probably actually love Negronis. It’s just that kind of drink. Bittersweet and boozy. A high wire balancing act that would only be attempted by three bold ingredients such as these. This red-hued classic is unmistakable, even at a quick glance, and especially once you’ve had your first sip.
