104 drinks in the book
gin
gin, chartreuse, allspice dram, and lemon juice
Very sweet and herbal, this is a nice sipper at the beginning or end of any evening.
rye
rye, sweet vermouth, benedictine, absinthe, and peychaud's bitters
A twist on the Vieux Carré, but without the brandy and plus absinthe. Imagine a Manhattan with some herbals thrown in, and you'll see why it's such a hit in New Orleans. This is Dumo's special recipe.
amaretto
amaretto, coke
Simple, smooth and nostalgic
amaretto
amaretto, cask-strength bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and an egg white
The best version of an amaretto sour. Sweet, sour, velvety mouth-feel, and a bourbon kick on the finish.
tiki
light rum, curaçao, lime juice, and maraschino liqueur
The only tiki drink of the night served straight up, it’s crisp and refreshing with a light rum base.
prohibition
gin, honey syrup, and lemon juice
With a simple mix of gin, honey, and lemon, this is a perfect sipper for a lazy afternoon.
shim
cynar, sweet vermouth, lemon juice, and orange bitters
Not a sour. Not a Manhattan. Something else. Delicious, and low ABV.
Halloween
Amaro, Peated Scotch, Banana Liqueur, Saline Solution
A bold, smoky stirred drink: two parts amaro to one part peated Scotch, rounded with a splash of banana liqueur.
bourbon / rye
bourbon / rye, amaro, and bitters
A twist on the Manhattan. Swapping out sweet vermouth for a nice Amaro adds herbal notes.
mocktail
blueberries, mint, lemon juice, and ginger beer
An Anders Erickson original. Mint on the nose. Light and refreshing.
scotch
scotch, vermouth, and benedictine
Deceptively smooth and sweet. Best enjoyed with a good book of Scottish poetry and biscuits (or a nice, fat haggis).
bourbon
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
bourbon, sweet vermouth, and campari
Your classic Negroni's father, made with bourbon. It’s a bolder, more aggressive, but still approachable drink, perfect for relaxing on the porch after a long day.
espresso
espresso, lico 43, and bourbon
A twist on a (delicious in it's own right) Mexican cocktail adds bourbon and bitters. When you're ready to stop drinking espresso martinis and try a real coffee drink, ask for this.
tequila
tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice
Bright, crisp tequila-forward margarita with zesty lime and a hint of orange - simple, sharp, perfect. Ask for a dash of simple syrup if you want it sweeter.
rye
rye, simple syrup, and bitters
It's a classic for a reason. Sweet, bitters, and alcohol. The basic recipe that spawned a thousand variations.
wee beastie and mister black
wee beastie and mister black
This absolutely will not make you Don Draper. But, after a couple of these, you might try to land the Lucky Strike account...
gin
gin, campari, and sweet vermouth
It's a Negroni, but with coffee-infused Campari. Boom. Magic.
Classic
Gin, Triple Sec, Lillet Blanc, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup, Absinthe
Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy classic: equal parts gin, triple sec, Lillet Blanc and lemon, lifted by a touch of absinthe.
Halloween
Absinthe, Reposado Tequila, Lillet Blanc, Triple Sec, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup
A stirred tequila take on the Corpse Reviver: reposado, Lillet Blanc, triple sec and lemon in an absinthe-rinsed glass.
gin
gin, cynar, and sweet vermouth
Equal parts gin, Cynar, and sweet vermouth. A delightful twist on a Negroni that is so simple you can't believe you haven't had it before.
light rum
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.
Classic
Dark Rum, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, Angostura, Ginger Beer
A fuller Dark 'N' Stormy: dark rum shaken with lime, sugar and Angostura, then lengthened with spicy ginger beer.
Halloween
absinthe and champagne
Leave it to Hemingway to create his own cocktail, name it after his own book (about Spain), and try to out-French the French with the ingredients.
