Old Fashioned

We pride ourselves on being cocktail preservationists and so our Old Fashioned is most traditional just like it was in post-prohibition days. Uncomplicated with just a sugar cube, a few drops of bitters, muddled with fruit, and topped with whiskey.

Sazerac

Created in the 1830s, the Sazerac is an American classic. Its bold taste - a combination of rye whiskey, VSOP Cognac, bitters, and lemon peel in an absinthe coated glass.

The Highball

An old-school cocktail. This is a highball with a capital H. A very classic cocktail made of Maker's Mark, ginger beer, and lime. Hard to beat.

The Boulevardier

A Negroni turned around, replacing the gin with bourbon. Bold with a richness and complexity that can be a welcome departure from straight whiskey.

Bourbon Daisy

Makers Mark, ginger beer, and grenadine form an alliance of fruits and liquor with a lingering finish. (by Paulius)

Ninth Ward

Originally introduced at “Tales of the Cocktail 2008.” It features Bulleit bourbon delivered in a Creole-style with St. Germain, falernum, lime juice, and Peychaud’s bitters.

The Rust Belt

Cleveland, a shining example of what a city must do to stay relevant in the 21st century. It’s about substance meeting style. With a bite of bitter and a pointed punch of rye, you'll find only a hint of sweetness. (by Julie)

Final Word

Our twist on the classic Last Word. Substitute the liquor and everything changes. It’s bourbon instead of gin, and we use Bookers.

Champagne Charlie

The road to redemption may be rocky but the journey is made a little easier with this unique drink. Redemption rye, Cointreau, lime, champagne, rhubarb bitters, and St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram. (by Nick)

UItimate Amaretto Sour

Jeffrey Moregenthaler feels strongly about his cocktail and upon trying it we became enamored. It's stronger, with a much different flavor than our other. This one uses Bookers and Lazzaroni Amaretto.

Vieux Carreé

Circa 1930s and straight from New Orleans, this cocktail is named after the French Quarter. Rye, Cognac, and sweet vermouth with dashes of Benedictine & 2 kinds of bitters.

Paper Plane

This cocktail is a modern bourbon twist of the classic Last Word. An equal parts cocktail with citrus, Amaro, Aperol, and Bourbon.

The Classic Manhattan

Classics remain classic for a reason. Vermouth, VTR bitters, and Makers Mark.

The Tango Manhattan

Made with VTR's house made red wine reduction, Makers Mark, and VTR bitters. A touch sweeter, a touch more nuanced.

The Perfect Manhattan (Barrel Aged)

Held in American white oak casks for a month, using both Bookers and Makers. The result is smoother, oakier, and smokier. (not always available. upcharge of $2)

Blood and Sand

From the 1930s. Johnnie Walker Black, Cherry Heering, sweet vermouth, and freshly squeezed orange. It’s the perfect example of a sum being greater than its parts.

Youngstown Johnny

Inspired by Lara’s misspent youth. A twist on a Rob Roy but slightly more botanical. What we have here is Johnnie Walker Black, St. Germain, red vermouth, and bitters.

Penicillin

This is a sweet scotch cocktail we quite like from Milk & Honey bar in NYC. It’s Johnnie Walker Black, Laphroaig, honey, lemon, and ginger.

The Conclusion

The finale in the “3 Words Trilogy.” From the Last Word, to the Final Word, and now the Conclusion. All that ever changes is the liquor. Gin to bourbon to scotch, while everything else stays the same. Brilliant. (by Linas)

Smoke and Mirrors

The Boulevardier mirrored the Negroni cleverly altering the configuration by just one ingredient. Here the trick has been turned again using Johnnie Walker Black along with Fernet-Branca. Again, this one from Lara, a true scotch enthusiast.

French 75

Made famous at Harry’s New York Barin Paris in the early 1900s and named for a French gun used in WWI. Brandy with lemon juice and mixed with champagne served with a lemon twist.

Sidecar

In postwar Paris, the Sidecar became a signature drink for the Hemingway ex-pat crowd. Two parts Cognac, one part Cointreau, one part lemon. These are the perfect proportions of this cocktail.

Widow's Kiss

The Widow does not cast her strong herbaceous smell on everyone, but for those who succumb to her heady mixture of Lairds, Benedictine, and Chartreuse, her effect is both powerful and addictive.

Champs Elysees

A lighter cocktail comprised of brandy and yellow Chartreuse with lemon, equals nothing short of elegant.

Brandy Alexander

A variation of the earlier gin-based cocktail simply called the Alexander, this cognac-based classic is a wonderful blend of flavors to almost any palette. Although a dessert cocktail by category this blend of flavors is sure to delight the masses. Cognac, nutmeg, creme de cocoa, and creme.

French 75

Gin mixed with champagne and lemon juice and served with a lemon twist. This version was favored by the British during WWI.

Aviation

This mixture of gin, Luxardo, Créme de Violette, and lemon juice has a floral hint of violet. There’s a clean, astringent lemon taste on the palate with a finish of undeniable ‘je ne sais quoi’. And oh, the color...

The Berkshire Martinez

Born and raised in the CLE, renowned writer Michael Ruhlman puts his more muscular spin on the Martinez, a cocktail dated back to 1887. It’s gin, sweet vermouth, a bit of Luxardo with a healthy dose of VTR bitters, and a squeeze of lemon.

Songbird

Gin, green Chartreuse, St. Germain and lemon, all work together to give this drink “a perfume that blooms from the glass like a spring day.” Chicago’s “Best Cocktail 2009” by Brad Bolt of Bar Deville.

The Last Word

From the darkest period of libational life in the U.S. — Prohibition. Equal parts of gin, green Chartreuse, lime juice, and Luxardo. One of the greats.

Rangpur Gimlet

Built ground Tanqueray Rangpurgin, this cocktail blends the sweet, sour, and floral notes of Rangpur limes with a frothy citrus and egg white base.

Negroni

With an herbal, citrus nose, it’s bracing and unique. Made not to disguise the flavors but to celebrate them. Campari and gin, and sweet vermouth. Finished with a flamed orange peel.

Tom Collins

Light and refreshing. Gin and sugar muddled with lemon juice finished with a splash of soda water.

Corpse Reviver No.2

A potent mix of gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and lemon, capped with a few drops of absinthe. Created to reanimate the dead (or just the extremely hung-over).

The Five: Fifteen

On her one-year anniversary with us, Nina created the 5:15. A frothy combination of cherry and lime, shaken hard with gin. It’s sweet, with an underlying current of something more. Just like her.

Bees Knees

This classic Prohibition cocktail is light and delightful. Made with Gin, Honey, and lemon makes this simple concoction "The BEES KNEES".

Raspberry Beret

This modern-day classic will surely brighten your day. A hint of sweetness with a savory yet sour finish will put a pep in your step. Your choice of vodka or gin, fresh lime, raspberry puree, simple syrup, and mint.

Velveteen

Ketel One, fresh-squeezed orange, yellow Chartreuse, vanilla, ginger, lime, and the last ingredient, we just can’t divulge - we've already told you too much... By Erin.

Katydid

We really love this citrusy drink. A heavy dose of Solerno - a blood orange liqueur, Belvedere vodka, Galiano, fresh lime juice, and a dash of orange bitters. Finished with a flamed orange peel. (Thanks Katy!)

Moscow Mule

This is the cocktail that ignited the American craze for vodka. Stolichnaya, ginger beer, and lime juice served on the rocks in a copper cup to stay extra cold.

Lemon Drop

Classic Lemon Drop made our way. A frothy, silky texture will change the way you enjoy this classic. Citron Vodka, fresh lemon, orange bitters, egg white, simple syrup.

Vesper

This cocktail is also known as the Vesper Martini. It is called the James Bond cocktail because it was created by Ian Flemming, the famous Bond Author. It first appeared in "Casino Royal" in 1953. This cocktail is clean, crisp and to the point.

Raspberry Beret

This modern day classic will surely brighten your day. A hint of sweetness with a savory yet sour finish will put a pep in your step. Your choice of vodka or Gin, fresh lime, raspberry purée, simple syrup and mint.

Cereza De Cal

To say it's just a cherry limeade with a kick would be selling it short. Don Julio Reposado - a dark tequila, mixed with a jammy-cherry liqueur, and fresh lime juice along with a splash of soda water, served in a tall glass. One of ours.

Cactus Flower

We believe that tequila is an underrated cocktail spirit but this drink is the epitome of how it can be used beautifully. St. Germain, citrus, and cherry bitters. A great one by Lara.

The Hulett

As the tale goes, we were walking down St. Clair and Rick was walking down Ontario. We were holding tequila and he, Laphroaig - and let’s just say it was a very happy accident. We added lime and secrets.

Cleveland Rose

Two incongruous white liquors, tequila, and gin are seamlessly joined with yellow Chartreuse to produce a graceful blend of unexpected flavors. (by Hilary)

La Nina

This tequila based cocktail is not named for it's creator, but for the cooling waters of the Pacific. This unique blend of flavors will take you to the beach and back. Made with Tequila, house made banana cinnamon syrup, chocolate bitters, and citrus.

Brazilian

Cachaga, a close cousin to rum, has almost a sweet melon flavor. To that, we add ginger beer and our bitters. Lighter than the Dark ‘n’ Stormy.

Dark 'N' Stormy

Born on Bermudd’s pink sand beaches, the Dark ‘n’ Stormy has lime Juice on the bottom, ginger beer in the middle, and Gosling’s Black Seal rum capping it off. The straw is inserted slowly so your first sip hits in layers.

Spicy Chica

This is our own little frothy homage to tiki culture. Made with Gosling’s Black Seal rum, amaretto, our ginger beer, fresh juices, and a dusting of cinnamon. (by Paulius)

The Tango Mai Tai

Just the mere thought conjures up all kinds of dreamy places we'd rather be. But in the right here and now, we can put you pretty close. It’s the original Mai Tai improved upon.

Old Cuban

The Old Cuban cocktail is what a Mojito would like to be when it grows up. Made with rich dark aged rum, limes, mint, our house bitters, and topped with our house Brut Champagne.

Classic Daiquiri

This classic cocktail is elegant and complex in it's simplicity. The perfect balance of sweet and sour. No better way to elevate your favorite rum.

Caipirinha

Muddled sugar and fresh lime Juice is then shaken with Cachaga, a Brazilian sugarcane distillate said to be around 500 years old.

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club

A tropical rum cocktail; bittersweet, tart, and balanced.

Hemingway Daiquiri

Think Havana in the 1930s. Hand-shaken with rum and balanced with lime, a little simple syrup, and an egg white.

The classic version. Brandy with dark Créme de Cacao, cream, and fresh nutmeg. A perfect finish to the evening.

Bananas Foster Cocktail

This savory rum based cocktail mimics the original dessert created at Brennan's in New Orleans in 1951. Made with rich dark rum, Black walnut bitters, our in-house made banana cinnamon syrup and creme. One of the very best night caps.

Grasshopper

This cocktail is an oldie but a goodie. Created by a New Orleans native Philibert Guichet for a competition in New York in 1918, this mint, chocolate, and creme concoction has stood the test of time. It has held a spot on New Orleans Tujague's menu ever since.

Death By Chocolate

This savory cocktail will delight the most indulgent chocolate lovers. Rich, creamy, and always classy. You have gone to heaven.
