Cocktails like this one

Blended Scotch Whisky

Frisco Sour

Bright and citrus-forward with a tartness that lifts the honeyed, herbal complexity of Bénédictine, while blended Scotch adds a warming, malty backbone. The finish lingers with sweet spice, delicate botanicals, and a satisfying zesty dryness.

Irish Whiskey

Irish Maid

Cucumber and elderflower over soft grain whiskey, green and floral in a way that barely reads as a whiskey drink until the finish arrives.

Gin

Gimlet

A bright, citrusy classic where tart fresh lime cuts cleanly through botanical gin, with just enough sweetness to round the edges and a crisp, refreshing finish laced with juniper and herbal notes.

Hayman's London Dry Gin

Fitzgerald

Bright and bracingly sour up front with a floral, juniper-forward backbone, the Angostura bitters add a warm, spiced depth that keeps the citrus from tipping too sharp. The saline solution quietly amplifies every layer, making this leaner gin sour feel remarkably complete.
