From the Bartender

Named for the French fencer Lucien Gaudin, who won two golds at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. If a Negroni is too sweet or too heavy for you, this is the drink to reach for — same bitter architecture, half the weight.

Cardinale
London Dry Gin

Cardinale

Bracingly bitter and herbaceous, with juniper-forward gin cutting through Campari's ruby bitterness while dry vermouth adds crisp, bone-dry botanical complexity. The finish is sharp and refreshing, less sweet than its Negroni cousin, with lingering herbal notes that make it a sophisticated spirit-forward aperitivo.

Coffee Negroni
London Dry Gin

Coffee Negroni

The familiar Campari-and-juniper bitterness, then a long roasted tail that was not there before, with the vermouth's sweetness stretched thinner across it.

Old Pal
Rye Whiskey

Old Pal

Bold and spirit-forward, with rye's peppery spice cutting through Campari's vivid bitterness and the crisp herbal dryness of vermouth, finishing long, bracingly bitter, and warming with a bright citrus lift from the lemon twist.

Martinez
London Dry Gin

Martinez

Spirit-forward and silky, with juniper and botanical complexity from the gin weaving through the rich, herbal sweetness of vermouth, lifted by a whisper of cherry-almond from the maraschino and a bright, bitter citrus finish from the orange bitters.
