| Bitter Giuseppe | ||
|---|---|---|
| This low ABV cocktail is considered a modern classic, and is responsible for numerous variations. It was created by Stephan Cole at the Violet Hour in Chicago. It’s often compared to a Negroni because of its bitter finish, but the build is very different. This is one of the rare instances we'll stir a drink containing citrus! And it's a great pre-dinner drink. | ||
| Brandy Daisy | ||
| The Daisy cocktail has undergone a lot of tweaking over the years. The essential DNA of the Daisy involves adding a little soda water to a Sour (spirit, citrus, sweetener). Beyond that, though, you can take some liberties. Jerry Thomas called for shaved ice; Savoy, for cracked. Any number of base spirits have been used as a foundation, and depending on which source you read, the finished drink should be poured into a cocktail glass, pewter mug, Julep cup, large goblet or glass highball. Earlier recipes include orange cordial, but by the early 20th century, grenadine had become the traditional sweetening agent. All versions, however, agree that a Daisy should be cold, refreshing and garnished with seasonal fruit. The following recipes are representative of then older and more modern versions. | ||
