The Cocktail Recipes
Classic recipes, real ingredients, no bottled mixes. Each recipe is made the way the bartender who invented it intended — or as close to it as the historical record supports.
🍸 Scan My Cabinet Instead
Negroni
Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. The Italian aperitivo that needs three ingredients and zero shaking.
Old Fashioned
The original cocktail — spirit, sugar, water, bitters. Everything since is variation.
Manhattan
Rye, sweet vermouth, bitters. The cocktail every great bartender judges other cocktails against.
Classic Margarita
Tequila, lime, orange liqueur. Salt on the rim. Everything else is editorial.
Espresso Martini
Vodka, fresh espresso, coffee liqueur. The cocktail that wakes you up so it can put you to bed.
Aperol Spritz
Prosecco, Aperol, soda. The official drink of the long Italian lunch.
Whiskey Sour
Bourbon, lemon, sugar. Add an egg white if you want the silky version. The fortifying drink of every era.
Moscow Mule
Vodka, fresh lime, ginger beer. Served in copper for the ice-cold metal kick.
Daiquiri
White rum, fresh lime, sugar. The drink Hemingway requested twice as strong.
Cosmopolitan
Citron vodka, Cointreau, lime, cranberry. The drink that defined late-1990s nightlife and still earns its place.
