Greenpoint
Yet another NYC neighborhood spinoff of a Manhattan, but with unique and robust elements to make it wholly it’s own.
Blinker
A somewhat obscure recipe, the Blinker cocktail is nonetheless refreshing and bright. The odd-sounding combination of grapefruit, raspberries and rye work beautifully together, delivering just the right amount of sweetness to compliment the spicy rye.
Gold Rush
Simply put, a bourbon sour with honey substituted for simple syrup. The results are anything but simple, though, as the resulting cocktail is much more deeply flavored and velvety smooth than a standard sour.
Frisco Sour
Benedictine is not a common ingredient, and is even more rare outside of a B&B. But it is potent, so much so that just a half ounce in a drink could give you a result that could warrant it’s own name. Meet the Frisco Sour: rye based with lemon for tartness, the addition of Benedictine brings you flavors mirrored what you taste in the rye, as well as introducing a plethora of new, more subtle flavors.
Fancy Free
More than just a spin off of the classic old fashioned, the Fancy Free is often a first introduction to Maraschino liqueur. Subtly sweet and vaguely cherry (real cherry, not the neon red abominations you find in shirley temples), Maraschino balances the two bitters uniquely, while letting the bourbon be the star of the cocktail.
