Very sweet and herbal, this is a nice sipper at the beginning or end of any evening.
A twist on the Vieux Carré, but without the brandy and plus absinthe. Imagine a Manhattan with some herbals thrown in, and you'll see why it's such a hit in New Orleans. This is Dumo's special recipe.
Simple, smooth and nostalgic
The best version of an amaretto sour. Sweet, sour, velvety mouth-feel, and a bourbon kick on the finish.
tiki
The only tiki drink of the night served straight up, it’s crisp and refreshing with a light rum base.
prohibition
With a simple mix of gin, honey, and lemon, this is a perfect sipper for a lazy afternoon.
shim
Not a sour. Not a Manhattan. Something else. Delicious, and low ABV.
A twist on the Manhattan. Swapping out sweet vermouth for a nice Amaro adds herbal notes.
mocktail
An Anders Erickson original. Mint on the nose. Light and refreshing.
Deceptively smooth and sweet. Best enjoyed with a good book of Scottish poetry and biscuits (or a nice, fat haggis).
Best served straight up with an egg white. A perfect mix of sweet and sour and velvety mouthfeel.
Your classic Negroni with bourbon. It’s perfect for relaxing on the porch on a hot day (when you’re out of gin).
A twist on a (delicious in it's own right) Mexican cocktail adds bourbon and bitters. When you're ready to stop drinking espresso martinis and try a real coffee drink, ask for this.
Bright, crisp tequila-forward margarita with zesty lime and a hint of orange - simple, sharp, perfect. Ask for a dash of simple syrup if you want it sweeter.
It's a classic for a reason. Sweet, bitters, and alcohol. The basic recipe that spawned a thousand variations.
This absolutely will not make you Don Draper. But, after a couple of these, you might try to land the Lucky Strike account...
It's a Negroni, but with coffee-infused Campari. Boom. Magic.
Equal parts gin, Cynar, and sweet vermouth. A delightful twist on a Negroni that is so simple you can't believe you haven't had it before.
This is not a slushie, and it doesn’t come in mango or strawberry. It’s daiquiri the way God intended, and the way Ernest Hemingway and JFK enjoyed. Good rum, fresh lime juice, and demerara.
Leave it to Hemingway to create his own cocktail, name it after his own book (about Spain), and try to out-French the French with the ingredients.
prohibition
A close relative of the sidecar and margarita, this prohibition-era drink used gin as the base. Also known as The White Lady, she looks delicate and innocent, but packs a punch.
The TX classic with a little twist. A float or red wine adds fruitiness and sweetness to a classic margarita.
Herbal and briny. This isn't for everyone, but those who love it could never go back.
Two ingredients. Stirred perfectly. Straight-up.
