Between the Sheets
Between the Sheets is a bold and citrusy twist on the classic Sidecar, offering a well-balanced mix of spirits and fresh lemon juice. This cocktail combines white rum, cognac, triple sec, and lemon juice to create a vibrant and refreshing drink. The smoothness of cognac meets the brightness of citrus and the crispness of rum, making it a layered experience. It is traditionally shaken with ice and served straight up in a chilled cocktail glass. The origins of the drink are debated, but it is believed to have been created in the 1920s at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. Often enjoyed as an aperitif, it delivers both warmth from the spirits and a refreshing zing from the citrus. The combination of sweet, sour, and boozy makes it an excellent choice for those who enjoy complex yet balanced cocktails. A drink perfect for special occasions or an elegant night out.
Aviation
The Aviation is a classic cocktail with a delicate floral aroma and a vibrant, slightly tart taste. Its pale purple hue comes from the Crème de Violette, which adds a subtle floral sweetness. The combination of gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, and violette creates a well-balanced, refreshing drink. Originally created in the early 1900s, it gained popularity as an elegant and sophisticated choice. The Aviation is traditionally served straight up in a chilled cocktail glass, garnished with a maraschino cherry. Its botanical notes from gin blend beautifully with the citrus and cherry flavors. This cocktail fell out of favor for a while due to the scarcity of Crème de Violette but has seen a revival in recent years. It is now a must-try for lovers of floral and citrus-forward drinks.

Bourbon Cocktails
Boulevardier
The Boulevardier is a rich and sophisticated cocktail that perfectly balances bitter, sweet, and boozy elements. A close cousin to the Negroni, this drink replaces gin with bourbon, creating a warmer and more robust profile. The combination of bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth results in a deep, complex flavor with a hint of orange zest. It was first created in the 1920s by Erskine Gwynne, an American expatriate living in Paris. The name itself comes from his literary magazine, Le Boulevardier, which catered to sophisticated socialites. Traditionally served in a chilled cocktail glass, the Boulevardier is often garnished with an orange or lemon twist. The bitterness of Campari is softened by the caramel and vanilla notes of bourbon, making it a well-rounded experience. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy spirit-forward drinks with a slightly bitter edge.
Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is a timeless whiskey cocktail that embodies simplicity, balance, and bold flavor. Traditionally made with bourbon or rye, it features a perfect blend of sugar, bitters, and a twist of citrus, enhancing the spirit’s natural depth. A dash of water or ice helps mellow the drink, while an orange peel and cherry garnish add aromatic complexity. Its origins trace back to the early 19th century, making it one of the oldest known cocktails. Unlike modern mixed drinks, the Old Fashioned highlights the quality of the base spirit rather than masking it. The drink is typically served in a short, heavy-bottomed glass, often called an "Old Fashioned" glass. Bartenders and enthusiasts debate the use of a muddled sugar cube versus simple syrup, but both methods create a smooth, slightly sweet profile. The bitters—usually Angostura—add a layer of spice and depth to the cocktail’s rich character. Whether enjoyed in a dimly lit speakeasy or crafted at home, the Old Fashioned remains a symbol of classic mixology. It’s a drink for those who appreciate the elegance of whiskey in its purest, most refined form.
