From the Bartender

Vermouth Cassis is a close cousin of the Kir, substituting white wine for dry vermouth, which adds an herbal depth that complements the cassis beautifully. Chill your vermouth and sparkling water beforehand to keep dilution from ice to a minimum.

Dry White Wine

Kir

Crisp and refreshing with a delicate balance of dry, minerally white wine and the rich, sweet dark-fruit sweetness of blackcurrant - light, fruity, and effortlessly drinkable.

Prosecco

Spritz Veneziano

Bright citrusy orange and gentle herbal bitterness ride a wave of effervescent Prosecco, creating a refreshingly light aperitif with a crisp, bittersweet finish that awakens the palate.

Sloe Gin

Blackthorn

A beguiling blend of sloe gin's tart, berry-forward sweetness and sweet vermouth's herbal richness, brightened by aromatic lemon oils that lift the nose with citrusy elegance. The finish is smooth and warming, balancing fruity complexity with a gently bitter, botanical undertone.

Gin

Gin Smash

Crisp and garden-fresh, botanical gin mingles with cool bruised mint and a whisper of sweetness, lifted by effervescent soda. The orange and cherry garnish add a subtle fruity depth that finishes bright and invigorating.
