| Jasmine | ||
| This drink was created by legendary barman Paul Harrington at the Townhouse in Emeryville, CA in 1990. It’s named after his friend Matt Jasmin who was sitting at the bar with Harrington one day and asked him to “Make me something you’ve never made before.” The inspiration for this drink was the Pegu Club, a cocktail Harrington was a bit obsessed with. The drink gained more notoriety when Harrington included it in his book “Cocktails” which is now out of print and goes for about 75 bucks on eBay if you’re thinking about getting a copy. When Harrington handed Jasmin the cocktail Jasmin took a sip and said: "Congratulations, you just invented Grapefruit Juice." Many years later Harrington would realize that he had been spelling the last name of his friend all wrong. |

| Long Island Iced Tea | ||
| The Long Island Iced Tea is as boozy as cocktails get, with a guaranteed hangover. But with four liquors, one liqueur, lemon and cola, it somehow works. | ||
| Man Overboard | ||
| The nick & nora glass is named after Nick and Nora Charles in the classic 1934 movie The Thin Man, based on Dashiell Hammett’s book of the same name. Thanks to Nora’s sizable inheritance, the couple lead a life of leisure and spend most of their time at least slightly sozzled, so I like to imagine they’d be rather partial to this concoction. It’s an ode to an old classic called a man o’ war, adapted to add the spiciness of rye while dialling down the booziness a bit. Serve as an aperitif or the first cocktail of many on a night out. | ||

| Millionaire Royal | ||
| In his 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, David Embury's says "At some bars a drink served under the name of "Millionaire" which consists of lime juice, slow gin, and Apricot Liqueur, with a few dashes of Jamaica rum. Since the sloe gin, which is a liqueur, predominates in this drink, I do not regard it as a true cocktail." Embury is more complimentary of what he calls a "Millionaire Royal", proclaiming it to be "a very satisfactory drink." | ||
| Singapore Sling | ||
