Calamari

Running through the Amazon, nearly crushed by a rolling stone, and managed to convince the feds that it was not you but a one-armed man that killed your wife. All by five o’clock. So, what are you drinking? How about an extra dry Svedka martini? That’s what Harrison Ford drinks when he visits Club Soda. It’s good enough for him and your day couldn’t have been any harder.

These things are just freakin’ delicious. And that’s all that needs to be said about that. Jose Cuervo Blanco Tequila. Triple Sec. Black cherry puree. Sweet and sour. Lime juice. A hint of fresh basil. On the rocks.

Sometimes it helps to take a little off the edge of gin. Nothing does that better than a little St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur. So breaking it down we’ve got Tanqueray, St. Germaine, a little grapefruit juice, some lemon, and a dash of grapefruit bitters. Sweet and tart with a nice little kick.

The Elderflower

The Perfect way to stir up some magic into the evening, by blending the spirit of the South with a hint of mystery. Woodford Bourbon. Fireball. Orange Curacao. Sweet and sour. Blood orange juice. Cinnamon. Shaken with a touch of egg white for a rich, frothy finish.
