From the Bartender

From Harry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book, 1930. It is essentially a White Lady with bitters, which sounds like a footnote until you taste them side by side — the dash reframes the whole drink from sweet to composed.

Maiden's Prayer
London Dry Gin

Maiden's Prayer

Double-citrus and unapologetic about it — orange sweetness carried by the liqueur, lemon keeping it dry, botanicals surfacing late.

Army & Navy
London Dry Gin

Army & Navy

Marzipan sweetness draped over juniper, lemon keeping it upright, and a faint baking-spice bitterness from the Angostura on the finish.

Aviation
Gin

Aviation

Delicately floral and citrusy with the perfumed essence of violette dancing above bright lemon tartness, this elegant cocktail offers a subtly sweet, botanical complexity that finishes dry and refreshingly light with hints of cherry almond from the maraschino.

Cloister
London Dry Gin

Cloister

Honey and saffron-like herbs from the Chartreuse riding over pithy grapefruit, with the gin's juniper providing structure and a long, warming herbal finish.
