From the Bartender

Kümmel is a caraway-forward liqueur with roots in Northern Europe - even a small measure (5ml) punches well above its weight, threading savory spice through the vermouth and gin without overwhelming the balance. Chill your glass well before serving; this cocktail is all about precision and temperature.

Gin

Queen Elizabeth

Botanical gin leads with quiet authority, layered with the honeyed spice and alpine herb complexity of Bénédictine, while bone-dry vermouth draws the finish long and clean with whispers of saffron, citrus peel, and chamomile.

Gin

Martini

Crisp and spirit-forward with botanical juniper notes from the gin, softened by the herbal, subtly bitter embrace of dry vermouth. The finish is clean and bone-dry, with either a briny olive whisper or a bright citrus lift depending on your garnish.

Gin

Turf Cocktail

Juniper-forward and bone dry, with herbaceous vermouth and a subtle anise sweetness weaving through earthy bitters. The expressed orange peel lifts the finish with bright citrus oils that cut cleanly through the spirit-forward depth.

Gin

Dry Martini

Bracingly dry and spirit-forward, with gin's complex botanicals at the core, softened by the delicate herbal and floral notes of dry vermouth. Finished with a bright citrus oil lift or a savory, briny edge from an olive.
